Dear Benter,
You have been away exactly two weeks
today but it seems more like two years to me!
I’m glad to hear you’ll be back soon.
Are you coming directly home, dear? Or do you plan to make some stops 36
the way? I hope you’ll be home in 37 for Patsy’s
birthday next Sunday. She is 38 you to show films to her
39 friends.
Patsy keeps asking every
day 40 you’ll be back. She says you never 41 that
story you were telling her about 42 train that lost its “
toot”(喇叭嘟嘟声). You’d better
43 and think up a good ending 44 it.
You know how Patsy is? She 45 be happy until she knows
exactly what __46 to the “toot” and 47 the
little train got it back 48 !
Everything at home is fine except
that we 49 you so much! I’ve been 50 with
the spring cleaning. Yesterday I had Cora 51 in to
wash the kitchen walls and she did a very good __52 of it. The
kitchen looks as though it’s been repainted. I made some new yellow curtains,
and they 53 very beautiful.
I went to see your mother yesterday.
Her 54 is all gone and she looks very 55 .
Your sister Jean looks wonderful! She has taken off about fifteen pounds since
she began dieting. But now she’s complaining that none of her clothes fit!
Hope to see you before next
Sunday.
Love and kisses to you!
Yours
Lynn
