Dearest Dot

Please read this letter before you tear it up.

I really must say that I am sorry for writing you that letter and I hope you will forgive me, it was just one of those things.

What do you think about this I’ll say the best thing for us to do is to just forget about the first letter and start all over again and I promise never again to say anything like that, and that is the truth and also a promise from me to you.

Darling you have the wrong opinion of me so please forget about the last letter. Darling I will write you 3 or 4 letters a week if you will answer them.

Darling I liked the last letter you wrote to me you are the kind of girl I like and I told you this once before but I will tell you again, you are a very lovely girl and I do like your temper.

Well Dot I will leave it up to you from here so let me know whether or not to continue writing to you.

I will send you your pictures in my next letter if you don’t want to write to me, and if you do continue I will get some pictures made of myself and send you one. So answer soon.

Love Ray
