Dear
Mr. Yohansen
:
Daddy
and
1 drove
around
yesterday
to help look for
a courthouse.
We
hear
that
the Post
Office
may
be
moved
to
Mr.
Armstrong’s
garage;
this would be
a good
idear if
tae Depart
would
con-
vert the
gutter into
a
pneumatic
tubs 2,
and
shoot
the
maii
aboui
town.
In
heavy
rains
Capt.
Moller’s
Vaterland
can
come
up
this
canal
to the building;
we
hope
the
Vaterland
will remain
in
the vater
and do better
than
she
would
on
land.
When
there
is
another
land
slide
of
this
canal
our
letters
will
be
distributed
more
efficiently
than
any
carrier could,
unless
we
had
the
P.
O.
in
the
shape
of
an
ark;
the
Postmas-
ter
dosen’t
like
anything
concerning
Noar and his Ark,
so Daddy decided
tkat
this would be better for . the court-house,
ST
CREOI
X
AN IS
as
we
would
have
all
sor.s
of
animals
attending
couri.
Onez
on
wheels
could
be used
until a p.ace
was decided
on.
Mo-
ther
went alony too and she thought
that
the big
building at Kingshll would b
a
good
place for
a
enurt ‘house,
as
people
from
both
towns
would
have
an
equal
distneo
to travel.
Wit
all the
cars
we
now
have
it
would
not be
so
difficult.
Mr.
Merwin and
Mr.
Renolds,
unhyp-
herrated
Yankees,
would
perhaps
shoy
more
business
principle
and
keep
the
garage
open
all day,
irstead of
persons
from other parts
of the country having to
spznd
a ""watchful
waiting”’ hour in
the
ice-cream
parl :r before
getting- gasoline.
They may
also have
someone
to
wait on
motorists
sho
kaows
the
line of
goods
handled,
insiead
c¢f having
to
explore
Mr. Renolds
who when he
gets
through
tightning
half
the
nuts
on
a ford,
ap-
pears
to deliver
a
can of cement.

ac-
cord non-moslem

adequate
