Dear Mathka,
Hi! I'm glad you can come to Idaho. Let me tell you something - it's freezing right now. (It's winter) That's the thing to expect up here. When you come (good for you!) it will be summer. When you leave, it will be fall. You've never heard those words before, have you? Spring is the time when flowers bloom, and gardens are planted. It's fairly cool. Summer is the warmest season. That's the time to go swimming. Fall, or Autumn, is harvest time! The leaves of trees change color and fall down. Winter is the coldest season. White snow falls. Snowmen, sleds, and ice skates are my favorite things about winter. (Snowball fights too!) Well, come soon, and very soon!
Good Bye.
From William Peter Featherlight
P.S. Bring nice, thin clothing so you won't get hot!

Dear Margaret,
"I love them that love me, and those that seek me early shall find me." Prov. 8:17 Greetings! Thanks a lot for the scrapbook; it was visited as much as I was!
My friends liked the kitten page a lot. Where didyou get the kittens, or did you draw them yourself? I liked the poem too. My favorite page was the hot air balloon page. How did you manage to collect 10 balloon stamps, 15 pictures, the puzzle... ? You draw hot airballooons really nice, too. The whole thing was just simply marvelous! I'll let you go now.
Goodbye!
Love, Maria Rose

Dear Grandmother,
Greetings! I am writing to thak you for letting us come to visit. Momma is showing me how to play the ukelele we bought. It sounds really neat - maybe I can make a tape & send one to you.
At your island, it is really amazing - in the same state are two totally different islands! Maui is too crowded, (at least to me).
We had a wonderful time. Come visit us sometime!
Love, M. R.

Eittod of Eittos is the one who will teach at Brownsville.
Glubbity Gushmush, of the city of Cornmeal, is the gargoyle whose money was returned.
A. Miller and E. M. Martin discovered that the person whom we met at church, Rendition Coleezo, resides near the Oom River, the main tributary of Calliope Stream, in the town of Bloop.
"That is the box of falee that Father wanted to buy, but it just was too expensive," explained Arithmatikce Tolly to Sentfer Go of Plungaterlit.
"Those, Rendition, are our visitors from Switzerland, and they are staying in Plungaterlit, where they admired the flowers that we planted in front of Go's house," said Athtreb Yel of E. Martin and A. Miller.
