Hello! How are you this morning? I hope lots better and that you can soon get out to enjoy this June weather.
May the warmth and sunshine be harbingers of happy days to come, and may this “left, hind foot” bring you all the good luck weoldVirginians attach to such a talisman—
Alas! for the best laid plans of mice and men—I long ago aranged to have a party on your birthday to fittingly celebrate such a date, but here we are both croaking and the other corner of the triangle away—However we’ll make up for it yet—and perhaps have a still happier festivity—
All sorts of good luck and the fulfillment of your dearest wish before you cut another notch in the stick—
Faithfully
