County Agent on Furlough

I wish to express my deep appreciation to my friends for the many kindnesses shown me during my recent illness, and it is with deepest regret that I am forced to take a leave of absence for several weeks on account of my health. I hope to return to the county just as soon as possible and continue the work.
