Thursday morn.
Dearest Daddykins
Thanks muchly for the money
You dear old darling honey!
It will help to make life sunny.
Thanks also for the letter
Which made Peg feel s’much better
That no nothing could upset her.
Well -- I really haven't time to be writing in rhyme, but (mind I’m not deceivin’), I had to get even, with you my dear father, e’en though ‘twas a bother! But hark, there’s the lunch bell! I’d fain go and munch well, but rather than fare well, I’d send you a farewell, so strong that ‘twould wear well, as carpets and rugs -- just cram full of squeezes + hugs.
Peg.
