Dear Ruth,
Well how is my little girl getting along? Say, when I looked at the book you sent me I thought it was out of the store you made it so nice.
I suppose you are getting ready for school. I hope you like it. I think you will like to carry your lunch, it will be like having a picnic every day but you must work hard while you are in class. Let me know what you need to work with and I will send it to you. Tell Mama that I forgot to get her shoes fixed but will get them to her this week.
They still have the little black puppie here, they got him a little collar so now he is all dressed up. Well Ruth, don’t forget to write often.
Love and a great big hug from Daddy
