Dear Vincent,/ c1 I2 f. m1 ^2 u
I am feeling pretty sad, because it looks like I won't be able to plant my tomato garden this year. I'm just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot. I know if you were here my troubles would be over. I know you would be happy to dig the plot for me, like in the old days.1 V. w2 G0 h- G [. [! e9 B
