to do so. Case I do will try to arrive there in the morning and leave in the evening of same day. When I once get on the same piece of land on which my home is I believe that I will be quite anxious to get there as quickly as trains will carry me.

The locust — fungus (which by the way they want to call Bruner's Fungus) has been doing great havoc among the ranks of the destructive insect during the past couple weeks. In fact it has completely wiped out one large swarm of them in the vicinity of where I did what I could to get it started. The Govt. Commission are now beginning to recognize it and may yet come around and be on friendly terms before I leave the country. Hope it may be so, for I have been approachable from the beginning had they "tried it on".

With good wishes for all, and kisses to yourself and the babies until I see you. Good bye.

Yours Lawrene Bruner
