Dear mom. Just a few lines to let you know that I am thinking of you and have got a little bit of spring fever. How is everything? It really is nice day today, hope you have the same.

Micky washed today and Nelly is making about 45 cents an hour. Me I am making about 40 cents an hour. Don’t tell any body but I think you’re as skinny or as thin as I am. HaHa.

Does my daughter still miss me. Don’t spread me no bull. I am going to ask the boss for a different job this week if I don’t get it I’ll be home to stay this week.

Kiss Tootie for me and yourself too. Or save them until I get home and then you will have to pay. Yours forever, pop

P.S. Hello Tootie. do you still suck your footie. pop

Note: Speculating who the recipient of this letter may have been. Helen J. Thomas’ birthday was 9 April 1915, so she would have been about to turn 18. She also would have been Charles and Junia’s niece. Side Note: Junia died 23 July 1933!
