Manhattan, Mont. Aug 28th 1916
Dear Brother,
Well, how is everybody around the city of Curwensville? Well, Chauncey I am in around Manhattan at the present time and I am shocking wheat, a field of about four hundred acres. The days are hot and the nights are cool. I have not heard from home for about four weeks and I don't know what's the matter. I am getting 25 cents an hour for shocking and 10 hours a day so you see that's pretty good too. I have worked here for a week and will be here for a week or two I think. Say Chauncey, who did Willie get married to. Don't forget to tell me the next time you write. Well I am feeling fine yet so far. Threshing will soon start now I think I can make about one hundred dollars this fall for the winter. When I don't work, I stay with a fellow by the name Herman Englishman and is a duchman for his folks come holland he is a pretty nice guy probably will stay with him through the winter. Say I forgot to tell you who I was working for and his Quint (?) so you know.
I was at the big circus show at Bozman on the 19th and it was pretty good, it is called Sells Floto and this was the only thing I was at since I am in Mont so you see I am behaving good. Well as I can't think of anything else right now I guess close up and hoping to hear from you soon. From your Brother, Wesley H. Ans soon.
