;-
Your hard-hearted and impecunious ancestor has turned his pockets inside-out and scraped them, with the enclosed result. [no longer with the letter] Some of these days he hopes to be able to do better. Cheerio!
Your epistles bring joy to your lonesome parents. We wish you luck with the Rel. paper.
There was a big fire at the Naugatuck Chemical plant today. A lot of old tires went up - huge cloud of smoke - flames shooting 50 ft. into the air - heat so intense that it ignited a roof several hundred feet away - airplanes taking pictures.
Mama is now snoring - and I feel an urge to do likewise. Sweet dreams, dear little girl.
Adoring
Papa.
