My dear Daddy,
Won't it be nice when we all come over beside you? I'm feeling much better. I hope the Dr. will let me up tomorrow.
I do not like staying in bed. I'm not at all deaf. Kitty climbed up by the ivy on the roof next door, but he is down now. Mother will tell you all a about it.
Billy is playing with John. Mother helped me spell some of the words.
We all send a kiss and our love.
Your loving little Mary.
