Dot’s very brief letter serves to let Dart know she was thinking of him as he turned 21. She reminded him that this is a very special year in his life; it’s the year when he can inherit his millions and spend them as he pleases and the year he can finally cast a vote. She hopes she can work on his political perspective before he has a chance to exercise that right.

She hopes he’ll be back home to celebrate his next birthday. She has his gift for this year but didn’t feel it was safe to mail it until he had a more permanent address. She has purchased him a nice Parker fountain pen.

Also included with this letter were three greeting cards. First, of course, a birthday card, followed by a “thinking of you” card from Tonsillectomy and a Valentine card. I’ll post the cards on some of the upcoming days this month when neither party wrote a letter.

Tomorrow, we hear from Dart again.
