The Bannock Pocatello, Idaho May 20, 1908 Dear Bertie: Today has been cold and rainy. I have been stirring all day, and have so far not had flattering results, but have done some business. This is a railroad town, and the railroads have cut down their forces and lots of men are out of employment, so the town is feeling the effect. I will be here yet tomorrow and tomorrow night move to Boise, Ida., where I expect to spend two or three days—or longer—thence to Payette, Ida., and thence to Weiser, Ida. I did not get any mail from you today, and was very anxious to hear how Harrison was getting along with the measles. I hope to hear in next letter that he is doing alright. I am feeling quite well, and hope this will find you better of your rheumatism and other ailments. The day has been uneventful for me, and I have nothing but of the ordinary to write you again. But as usual I am spending my idle moments thinking of you and home. Wouldn’t it be fine if my evenings could be spent at home? What kind of weather are you having, and how does Spokane look in her new spring dress? I am very anxious to see Washington in spring dress. With my dearest love to you, with all the “trimmings,” and with a hug and kiss for each of the little ones. I am lovingly, Your husband, Geo. W.D.
