Transcription:
"("Take it out on the cat.") Alright. The cat is a patient long suffering and forgiving animal and unfortunatly, there are two of them now. Dad has acquired one of his own named "Amarillo" (yellow.) Yours isn't the 1st enticism of my letters home. Worked Friday & Saturday in Rep. office. Spent Sunday in bed, am up this morning, but am sending in my resignation. Think I'd rather take in washing. Will write sometime.—Ruth."
