Dear Daddy,
I was glad to get your postcard which had a big steamer on it. We saw the pair on Friday morning. I got a big Easter egg on Sunday from Mother and a pair of braces also from her. What do you think?
We saw a poor little bird on the ground. It had fallen out of its nest. A happy Easter to you. We are having a happy time.
Much love from us all,
Your loving son,
William John Bauman
