My dear Dot

I got your handkerchiefs in a parcel tonight with your nice letter with all the kisses and the big love in it.  I was very glad to hear your Mamma had such a good time up at Eatons.  The handkerchiefs are just what I wanted for I am almost out of them.  How do you and Billy get along?  I suppose you fight as much as ever.  So you had quite a big birthday party at which I hope you enjoyed yourself.  You are getting to be quite grown up.

Well I must wish you goodbye, hoping you are quite well.

From your loving
Daddy
