Springs, Ky: / take this oppor-
tunity to inform you that l am a
dady, for wife has as nice and as
fat a baby as ever made faces. We
hope these lines will find you en-
joying the same great blessing.
Now, this is to be strictly business
letter. First, as said before, we
have got nice baby. Nextly, l
have snapped away my mules and
l think / have got a pretty nice
horse. 1T is a boy and weighs ten
pounds-I mean the baby. 1t is
just as fat as butter and has a
strong pair of lungs. He is red
and has a bob tail-the horse /
mean--and a white stripe in his
tace, and is a good driver. He has
got blue eyes and dimple in his
chin-I mean the baby-and just
the prettiest mouth that ever open
ed to howl. Judging from his
teeth l should think he was about
six years DID, mean the horse
now,-he is sound, smooth and
kind-I mean the horse or baby
either. Now-the doctor says be
is the incest he ever saw without
any exception-he meant the baby.
l got $25 to boot, not on the baby
though, for in its case the boot is
on the other foot and two or three
sizes larger, as near as l can find
out. There! l have been reading
this over and l see plainly that L
amt fit to write. The amount of
it is am frustrated. / am happy
dady and that accounts for it. So
you must excuse me this time, as /
want to write to our father Richard
this afternoon.
Your brother-in-law, j. NJ"
