Dear Sylvia

Dear Sylvia — page 5 — Deer Sylvia Well now I am back from the hospital and we all saw Fillus She looks like a red cabbidge Once when we were on the highway we rode behind an old car with an old dog leaning out the window yowelling becuase a little girl was pulling its old ears hard as a crossbow That’s what Fillus sounds like When I picked up Fillus she looked at me like I was ice cream and even started licking her lips I’ll put this in the onvlope now and seal it becuase its getting big

Dear Sylvia — page 6 — Deer Sylvia I didn’t sign my name last time so I hope you knew it was from me Andy said if I’m going to be writing a girl all the time I have to sign LOVE becuase that’s what girls want But Leonard said how did he know and Andy said he’s written to lots of girls and Leonard said name 1 and Andy said a gentleman doesn’t name girls but always signs LOVE or else they get mad Girls that is So I hope you aren’t mad I’ll sign whatever you want Owen

Dear Sylvia — page 7 — Deer Sylvia By now I hope you aren’t mad becuase I haven’t sent any letters yet I’m still thinking about the signing Andy said its very tricky and a girl could get offally upset if you sign the wrong word So now I don’t know Fillus came home from the hospital today Mom made a big party for her and Ant Lorraine and when we were all their she said to me all of a sudden we should have invited Sylvia But it was too late Sorry Eleanor and Sadie took turns picking up Fillus and carrying her around like 1 of thier dolls Fillus screamed and screamed until I thought my eardrums were going to ruptewer Then Ant Lorraine picked her up and Fillus became a hole yowelling nucleer orkestra Leonard and Andy had to run out of the house So much for the big party I tried to bring in the carrot sticks from the kitchen in case Fillus was hungry but Mom almost hit me over the head with the plate Well I didn’t know you can’t feed babies carrot sticks Ant Lorraine gave Fillus to Mom and then Mom walked around singing a lullaby right into Fillus’s little red

Dear Sylvia — page 8 — cabbidge ear And Fillus went WAAAAA-waaaaa like a train that’s not going to make it round a corner on top of a cliff over a waterfall a thousand feet above the ocean right over the Marianas Trench which is the deepest place in the hole Earth Then Leonard ran back in and said give her to Owen Leonard is the closest thing we have to a baby so maybe he knows how she feels Anyway Mom gave her to me and it was ice cream licking again MWIM-MWIM mwim mwim Fillus said right into my shoulder Loud then softer soft I giggled her a little and blew on her red cabbidge hair From Owen
