epic letter to grandma, p. 1

After my grandma died, my mom was going through her closets & she found a stack of letters from us kids — with carbon copies of her own typed responses (Grandma ALWAYS typed her letters). My mom put some of them in a photo album. This is page one of a six-page letter I wrote around 1971 — I think it was our first summer in Connecticut — which would have made me eleven.
