My dear Daddy,
I like your postcard very much. It must be a very pretty sight to see big fields of them. It will be so nice to be beside you again. We went on to the fields yesterday and tried to play tennis. I hope you are well. We have had some lovely fine days here. I hope you also.
Love from,
Mary
