Summary
Reads: Tuesday. Dear Ruth-- You seem not to know quite what to do on 4th of July, so I enclose some clippings as possible suggestions for next year. Also see how the Buddhists have come to Oregon now. You find everything here... There is room to be a telephone here-- which means Ismail can call me up and collar me if he feels like it, but not in time for this year. Love, Jim.
