Hello there Cloyd, say, there was an account in the papers of a very severe hail and windstorm.  Said to been in Alberta.  In my paper I couldn’t make out just where it was.  Duke’s wife wrote they made out Alberta and a place was destroyed.  They could not make out fur sure but it seemed more like Pickardville.  Was some killed.  Duke is near sick fearing it might be Oscar and his mother.

Please answer at your earliest convenience and give me names of places around you.  We all feel bad…
