At last I find time to answer your kind letter which I received some time ago. It is now 9 Oclock and while waiting for Bro Charlie to come thought I had ^ better write to you. Since you are such a big girl I suppose you are not surprised to learn that I am about as large in proportion as you are. I measure 5 ft and 1/8 of an inch and weigh 119 lbs, so you see we are about even. but I guess you have the advantage of me when it comes to age. I will be Twenty in April.
