Jun 19, 1933-from James to Ruth

Dear Ruth,

Say Ruth, Daddy could not wait till today to open my birthday presents so I peeked at them yesterday. I think the pocket book you sent is just fine and how did you know just the kind I liked best? I have it in my pocket right now so thanks a lot for it.

Jack is making my birthday dinner as I sit here in the big chair writing. We will have potatoes, eggs, scrambled with bacon, bread and butter and honey and coffee, Did mamma get the new screen door up so you can use it? If you can just set it in place and fasten it I will soon be there to put the hinges and things on it. Say Ruth, it is so hot here that my hand sweats and sticks to the paper.

Well, I must get ready for work so by-by till July

Love from Daddy. Answer soon, quick, hurry, hustle.
