Your letter of 16 and 17 to hand and I can’t tell you how much happyness they bring to me the one letter I read twice and the larger letter I read three times, I sure must laught at your experience with truble he is some dog. I wonder if you will give me as much attention as you do your new dog. Honey I don’t see why Dad wants to get rid of Jerry. I think Jerry is some dog and I know since your dad wants to get rid of Jerry if I had a place for him I would take him. I like Jerry and I think he is the right dog in the right place. Yes dear it make me feel kinda blue to think I can’t write you a letter each day but just wait and then you shall have one each day only one more week than the show is over then I can sit down and have my mind on you and can write you real love letter like before. I don’t know what I would do if I did not received your dandy letter each day. They sure bring loots of pleasure to me and make me love you more than words can say. I wished so many times you were not so far away so, I could come and see you and have some of these days over.
