"Dottie is feeling fine at this date [pregnancy].
The drought continues with but a slight rainfall a few days ago. The rivers are about down to their low point of the fall. The garden is doing little good although we are having onions and lettuce thanks to sprinkling. Many pastures and lawns are brown. Hay and wheat are in bad shape. Corn showing through the ground on the river bottoms. The alfalfa is fairly good. It is quite depressing to me.
Am thinking of buying 23 acres of river bottom land. I was fishing on it today and caught two suckers. Stepped off the cultivated land and estimated it at 20 acres. I am getting anxious to own a good piece of ground where I can work out my enthusiasm for gardening - where things will grow without being coaxed all the time.
I found some pretty young sycamore trees suitable to transport this morning."
