The little red Squirrel is a “Saucy thief of the world” –
The Chipmunk have but little to recommend them to our
special favor – a set of striped rascals -

O I am in such a hurry I cant write – Ask any
questions and I will answer if I can –
Did the [illegible] Doctor take the Crane to the fair?)
I want to hear about that crane –

I am much obliged for the lette from Laurece I
will profit by an acquaintance – or corespondance)

O. I. wish you would jump on the carrs and
come up to visit us for a day or two – I will try
and help you to some wonderful stories about
squirrels & mice – if you can come –

O what shall I doo with those books Baird
sent to me for you Must I send them by
express to you – do tell –

This is a more rambling – rapid – disjointed bungling
letter – wrote just what came in my mind at last ends

"Can you read it?" -

Yours Truly
