Dear father and mother
That isn't much, to be sure. 1t was
the natural way for you to begin your
letter. But when father reads that
much he stops bit to clear his throat,
and tear slides down the worn face
of your mother.
Every word is read.
There are interims when they stop
to make EXPLANATIONS or comments.
They even laugh heartily over your
crude attempts at humor. And so on
to the ending
"Your loving son."
Father holds the letter awhile and
after a time, at mothers request, reads
over again certain passages. And final
ly, when they have talked much to-
gether about you and the letter, father
puts it back into its envelope and lays
it on the mantelshelf.
Is that the last of your letter, think
you?
1t is only the beginning Of it. 1t will

you have for them. Give your feelings
