Letter to Earl continues: 

Well I heard Mrs. McKee tell Effie Wikle tonight that Lowell and Merriel both were examined and classed and placed in 1A. You see how farmer boys are kept out of the draft. Lowell has Clara Ehler’s farm rented just as the past summer and don’t know if that will make any difference. Merriel works in Dayton.
