CAMP MCBRIDE, 6th September
Dear Daddy,
Your letter didn't come in time (I am pleased to say). If you wish yourinstructions to be obeyed, you must have your secretary transmit themin less than two weeks. As you observe, I am here, and have been forfive days.
The woods are fine, and so is the camp, and so is the weather, and soare the McBrides, and so is the whole world. I'm very happy!
There's Jimmie calling for me to come canoeing. Goodbye--sorry to havedisobeyed, but why are you so persistent about not wanting me to play alittle? When I've worked all the summer I deserve two weeks. You areawfully dog-in-the-mangerish.
However--I love you still, Daddy, in spite of all your faults.
Judy
