And I really think that it is easier and is more inter-esting and enjoyable for you to work at the shop, where you get to contact many interesting peo-ple, if you would just be sen-sible and only do a rea-sonable day's work and then quit.  This would enable you to more than make enough to pay the hired help at home and would permit you to be at home at the times when your family are there, too.  Of course I know that the kids have grown pretty fast and you haven't been able to spend as much time with them as you might have liked to.  We might event take care of that with another one that you could just sit around and watch it grow-but i'll bet it would be a plenty spoiled brat-with so much attention.  Well, [illegible] I must stop and get some things planned out.  I don't know what all I've said but just wrote it down as I thought along.  I hope you like it and in any even that it doesn't offend you for there is nothing in the world means so much to me as your love and to know that you'll stand up for me and with me.  
Devotedly, your own [daddy?]
