OLD FREESTONE CITIZEN
LANDS IN CALIFORNIA
Wiley Day, an old Freestone citi-
zen who has been living at Brown-
field, Texas, writes us from Cali-
fornia:
Los Alamos, Calif., Feb. 6, 1946.
Mr. Lee Kirgan,.
Fairfield, Texaa. -
Kind Sir:
Please send my paper * to Los
Alamos, California.
I am located for a while. Will let
you know if I move again. This is a
beautiful country, but I still like
Texas the best. I couldn’t get locat-
ed at Brownfield on the farm like I
wanted to. I came out here to see my
son and sister, so decided to stay the
balance of this year out here. Wages
are good, but that is all I see that is
better than Texas. Cost of living is
pretty high. You have to get good
wages to come out ahead. So tell the
boys I will be back some day. Keep
the Catfish Club going. If I come
out with any money I will pay my
dues and join them.
Yours truly,
WILEY DAY.
