(Father’s Day Card)

Dear Kenny,

Harold wants to write you soon when he has time (and inclination) to think out a good letter. He has been working pretty hard, including some overtime and several Saturdays too. It helps the check, and incidentally our dental bill. My work is all done except for one more gold foil. I surely have a mouthful of dentistry, but Dr. Drake seems to like us and is doing his best by us; irregardless of the time it takes. My work looks nice and so does Harold’s and Dr. Drake says it will last.

We think Douglas is surely a fine boy, and a very interesting baby. The thing I first noticed was his inquiring look. He lifts his eyebrows and forehead and looks all around. It is the cutest mannerism. He seems to be unusually alert. He certainly grew the three weeks he was in Town. He seemed like such a little baby when Claire came, but on the way back he seemed older and sturdier. I think the exercise and “wooling” around he got in Griswold did him good. Harold surely wants him exercised so he’ll develop every muscle. Ha! He seems to be very normal two – wets piles of diapers. He wanted to take a picture of Claire in front of her clotheslines’ of diapers, but she wouldn’t let us.

We are having terrible floods in the Middle West. Probably your mother will write about them.

Sincerely,

Nola
