Dear Daddy,
We got the mail box put up yesterday. John and I had a tea party. I put Betty June at one end of the table and Mother at the other end. John and I sat on the bench. We had cake and fried eggs and Mother made some biscuits and we read stories the rest of the evening. Im sending my money to you to buy things for the 4th of July. I will write a list of things for you to get for me. I would like you to get the book called “Robbenson Cruso”. Here are a few things you can get. 1 box sparklers, 1 gun.2 caps, 10 paper sacks for noise. Well this is all so goodby. here are some kisses.
