Transcription

I sent you a postal and you never did answer it. Please ma'am do better this time. I hope you have had just the happiest summer in the world and I know you all are going to have a great year over there. Sometimes I'm very lonesome for it all so please miss me a "little now and then". Yours, Vivien [sic]
