Dear Mom, Pop, Avis, Shirley, Avis,

Shirley your graduation must be or will be over by the time you receive this letter. The best of luck to you. I'll send a hundred dollars the first of the month. That will be a starter for your future schooling. Each month after that I'll send a hundred dollars home and with that you can earn, you can go a little while on that.

Write a letter Shirley after things settle down and give me the details of your graduation and your future plans.

Marie you are the last of the family to ender dear Ole M.H.S. Let's see you come out on top. You're plenty smart. Your present will be a joint birthday and graduation from junior high present. I expected to get back to London for it but I'm afraid I'll have to get it in Paris.

Yes I was in London but for a very short time. I did see the House of Parliament and the House of Commons but that was about all. Tell the rest of the family I was asking for them.

Have you heard from Grandma or Angus?

Ruth and Emie and Louise and Bernie must be getting angry with me for not writing.

As Ever

Al
