Letter written to her Mother from daughter Carol on April 23, 1921
Dear Mother’s,
I
just took a pitcher
of Daddy all by myself
I sure am glad I have that
khaki dress. We went in swimming
Yesterday and are going in
agian today. Daddy got
a pitcher of Grandpa
when he was going over
to his room with this
grapefruit and he doesn’t
know it.
I can hardly wait to
get home and get
my little kitten
it has only stoped blowing
two days since weve been here
here they say it is
the longest blow they
the island.
Much Love,
Carol
Mother
