June 12, 75 Dear Yvonne, Hi! Well, I'm still here as is probably obvious. David got the bug back Friday and I gave him your letter. I'm not sure when we're leaving. David took Yvonne's car back to Eugene & left the bug here and will be back tomorrow and so I guess I will know then. I'm coming though nevertheless! So I hope to see you & the little punkin more but pretty soon. I got a present for her, I'm bringing it with me. Guess what? My flowers I planted are coming up. Hooray. Also Jack is going to rototill the garden, tomorrow. We've had lovely warm weather, all week, but had a little rain today.

An alternate scan of the June 12 Yvonne letter covers travel uncertainty, David and the bug, Yvonne's car, a gift for the little "punkin," garden work, flowers, and weather.

As a duplicate or alternate scan, the page reinforces the archive's everyday social texture. Its value is less in new content than in preserving a clearer reading of the same correspondence.
