By dear Johnny boy,
I wish I could give you a big bear hug and lots of kisses, but will have to wait awhile. Grandpa and Grandma asked me how big you are and were sorry they could not see you. Grandpa gave us his tire pump and chains. The pump has two cylinders and works real fast and we can use the tire chains when we have to run the car in the mud. Oh say John I saw old Tim and he is fat and nice but they don’t keep his foretop trimmed so he looks as if he needed a hair cut.
Well John I cannot think of any more news so goodby,
With love from Daddy
Write soon.
