Fort Lupton, Colorado 28, August - 1958 Dear daughterThis letter is to greet you all, Bill the kids and you. We are well, thank God.
I’m only writing to tell you that I’m having a colored-in portrait of you made from a photo of Bill, you and the kids, in color. They’re coming in about two weeks, and I would like you to send me the colors.
From Bill, the color of his eyes and of the clothes he was wearing, and from you,
the color of your face and your eyes, and the color of the hat and your dress. And
also from Billy boy, the color of his eyes, and the color of his face, and his clothes,
and also Boby Bobby and Pamela too. Jerry and Kathy are starting school
on Monday and he is very happy because he doesn’t like to pick cucumbers. The same
with Kachty Kathy she is very happy because school is starting. Well, I think this will be all for
now. Regards love for the kids and for Bill. And for you, receive the finest regards love from all of us. And answer soon, because the man is coming and I want the colors
to have the portraits made.
