Bulbs are a problem. We are going to have liiem if they come, and, if 

 any come from Holland, ours will. With the Holland-American boats tied up 

 in this country waiting for the end of the war, it looks dubious for the 

 Hollander. This is written August 13. If this envelope contains our bulb 

 list, we have the bulbs assured us. If it doesn't, it means another larger, 

 better crop of hogs in Germany.
