Dear Mom,
Hope you are feeling well and every one else at home are the same. I am fine (as usual) and don’t know much news to write tonight. I think I’ll take in the movie later on.
I want you to cash two of my $25 bonds and make them into a $50 bond for Lee. If they won’t cash them for you just show them this letter giving you the right to do it. Make it to Miss Leola Ann Brinkhoff. If you can’t cash mine cash yours and take two of mine for replacement. Thanks lots and do this as soon as you can and send me the bond for Lee.
I am going to mail the watch to you in the morning. Hope it gets there allright.
Just put Lee’s name on the bond no beneficiary is necessary. Write soon.
your loving Son
Earl D.
