My Dear Son

                        Your Father will write you a few lines to day. I suppose you are about returning from Sunday School now. Have you been a good boy. I want you always to try and be good to your mother & Grand mother. Write me about your every day school and your out door plays. I want to know all about it. For when I was a boy I played where you do now. From your affectionate Father
