My Dear Little Johnnie Boy
Daddy is mighty pleased with the nice birthday presents you sent. I think the handkerchiefs are the nicest I’ve seen. Thanks lots.
Well John I am coming to see you soon so (consider yourself hugged and kissed) How is Mitzi and the little cats? Does she like them?
Help mamma all you can with the garden so we will have lots of good things to eat. And John I think you folks had better go over to that meadow that’s on the North West corner of our place and see if there are any wild strawberries there. Mamma and I found lots of the plants there and I think they should be ripe about now, and you had better see about it before someone else does.
Well John I must write to Ruth so by by with love from
Daddy ( I’ll be seein’ you)
