Dear Daddy,
How are you we are all fine. This morning after John and I had sawed wood we played on the shelter. Then I got some boards and nailed them on. Then we got some poles the same length and stuk them under the poles the boards were fassened on to and one end is lower than the other and John and I can both go under each end of it. Yesterday Mother made lime jello but it dident harden so we used it as a drink. the cookies you sent us were vary good. When we were unwrapping it we were very impatient. well this is all but I am going to make a map for you of the shelter.

Love from Ruth Linsley
