Dear Parents
Thank you for the letter from the 27th I can not get better and now I have to use a heated pillow I just been reading that you had trouble with the tractor and could not start it because of the battery. I wish I could help you, I have many Russian Tractors repaired you have to heat the engine up with a blow torch and old it on the cylinder. In Russia the farmers light a pan with oil under the engine and they let that burn until the engine block gets real hot. that’s how I started them, and that way we could trash out some oats for our 4 legged Comrades. How are your horses? Do you sell the little one? Is our Dog stiall alive? I hear they closing all the mills, is there a substitude? I can not understand why that is. Greetings to you
