dc.description.transcriptionUvalde, Texas Nov 27 "43. Dear Mr. Carter:- Your letter, with enclosures, received yesterday - wow I'll be honest and say Jno. N. isn't worth the powder and lead to kill him and I always say that I am a fit subject to stand against the wall of sunrise - we are a "sorry couple" - He, at least, is well as anyone can be + finds something to occupy him but he won't write letters and I am almost unable to write one worthwhile - so - I will not refer to enclosures but first hop down to the last "important" passage to say we did raise a very good pecan crop - also had corn on the cob from our back yard every day from April 28 until Nov. 15. Besides other garden talk - how is that for a good provider? He says have you ever heard of him returning a bottle of good Bourbon or the cigars - he is always in a receptive mind. He expressed the above in his own inimitable way which I am sure you can put into words. Really we would be happy beyond words if the time ever came, where you could stop in on us - we miss our friends. Do you hear from Amon Jr - only you know how glad we would be to hear of his return to you - May God bless him in safety, health + bring him back - Just remember we love you + send you our best wishes - Faithfully you friend - E.R. + Jno. Garner.
