aint no storm, however it may
all be for the best. I like your
dad smiling when Mrs. Hall
jumped in with both feet and
laid me on the carpet, its a hope-
ful sign. Give my future dad
a kiss for me, to be delivered per-
sonally when I see him. Don't
dare send one to my future mother-
in-law, she'd think it a bit too
precious and I always was
scared of her.

I was going to write you a
letter but so far haven't said a
sensible thing, just whatever
came into my head and its a
jumble of foolish nonsense, am
now going to soak my head in
cold water and start again.
