Dear Dorothy, When are you going to be a big girl & write letters to Dad yourself. You will just have to start soon so Dad can have a letter from your own self would not that be fine. To have a letter truly from your self Dad has Gracies first letter stowed away somewhere & is going to keep it till he gets home if he doesn't lose it. Dad did lose something he wanted to keep very badly yesterday it was his own carelessness too. It was a soap box that Aunt Queenie bought years ago & I've kept it all thru this time & at Niagara too there if I haven't gone & lost it. I'm so sorry but I'm going to try & get it back if I can. I do hope I do. Dad was at Dorothy Averys yes-terday & she was away all afternoon catching little fish she got 3 & has them in a glass jar like Aunt Queenie used to have the goldfish now dearie I must go away to dinner my love to you & Auntie Mother Grandma Marg Gracie & our baby & lots of love & kisses to yourself from your dear daddy
