Announcing the arrival of
Thomas Waldron Jones
Born to:
Mr. and Mrs. Judge S. Jones
Date:
January 9, 1929
I am thirteen years old. My birthday is March 2. When is your birthday?
I live with my mother, grandmother, and grandfather. We own our house.
The school I go to is Oneonta Junior high School. I'm in the seventh grade. We are going to have a long Easter vacation. It will last from April 9th to April 24th.
I have one pet, a cat named Topsy. She is almost six years old. Do you have any pets?
Do you have any hobbies? I have several. I like to collect dolls very much. Some of my dolls are from foreign countries. Collecting coins is also a hobby of mine. I have several valuable coins. Their dates are 1807, 1849, 1866, and 1879. I am trying to get coins from other countries. Every summer my minister visits Europe. He has brought me from dolls from Europe. This ear I am going to ask him to bring me some foreign coins. I also like to read books.
My mother works in a bank and my grandfather works for a railroad.
I take piano lessons. Do you play an instrument?
Would you like a pen pal from Japan?

Chop cabbage and the peppers very fine. Make a brine with half cup salt and enough cold water to cover the chopped vegetables and let soak overnight. The next morning cop the onions fine, drain the peppers and cabbage, and the other ingredients, and it is ready to can.
