Jun 26, 1932-from Ruth to James

Dear Daddy,

The Park Rapids man gave us 2 letters from you and 10 seconds later the Nevis Mailman gave us another letter from you and oh yess, the Park Rapids man gave us the pakeg. John and I were jumping up and down when we reseved your letters. When I unwrapped the pakeg I put my letter under it and couldent think where I put it. we’ve had rhubarb sauce and rhubarb pudding. I made my doll a skurt and blouse. Now I am making her a pair of bloomers. the cat has cought 3 mice since youve been home today she cought one and a few minets later she brought in another mouse. shes cought one robin. she hasent cought any more rabbits. Yesterday the kitten was asleep on the lower board of the washstand and when I looked again he was sitting up asleep. Last night Mother was catching millers and she cought a hornet instead and got stung on the tip of her finger. Mother made a curtain out of the drapes, parting the kitchen from the bedroom. Well this is all for today so goodby.

yours truly Ruth Linsley
