Delbert Beckman Writes Interesting Letter to Parents.

Budkman, N. M., April 30, 1916. Dear Folks: I received your welcomed letter and was very glad to hear from you. I am going down to Santa Fe today if it does not rain before we get started. I was down there the other day for two nights day. We will go down in the car. The scenery is wonderful most of the way. I am feeling fine. You do doubt will be surprised to know that I weighed; 170 pounds last night. What do you know about that. I am getting so big that they call me a giant. You would hardly know me if you were to meet me on the street not knowing that I was in town. That is 23 pounds more than I weighed when I left Indiana. My clothes are all getting too small for me. I wear corduroy pants and high top shoes and l.annel shirts. I have taken a bunch of pictures of the country out here. I am going to take some more and I will send them to you first and you may look at them and show them to the neighbors. I know you will enjoy looking at them. Well I have two more letters to write so guess I will quit for this time. Write soon. With love and best wishes, I am, Your son, Dell.
