Happy Year! dear little godfather. Permit, one time, that I embrace you very affectuously, and shake your hand.
Your godchild for the life,
Andrée Leblanc.
Deer Miss Secretary:
After some consideration I have decided to keep my orfan fer one more yere. Of course she is still a girl and I wanted a boy, but she is used to me and I am used to her, and it mite go hard with her if I left her fer some one else to adop, so if you will just put me down fer one more yere I will be much obliged to you.
Yours truly,
James P. Jackson Jr.
