Found in this envelope saved by my mother were two separate unrelated papers. Both undated. In this letter the first three pages missing, as follows:

Oh don’t forget that I want that timer on the book seff + the portable radio + give the closet or work bench or desk to Bob if he wants one of them. But leave the book shelf + the wall table witch are built onto the wall there for whoever buys the house to have.

(Two drawings are included here of the shelves he is referring to)

But most important I want stuff like Andy Pany and stuff.

(drawing of his childhood toy, stuffed Panda Bear, Andy)

I just went to a football game here last night + coca beat this other town 6-0  YEA COCO!

Thanks for the pitchers you sent too.

    As for local events of interest me + Dady saw the moon rocket take off this morning at about 4 A.M. it was real cool. You know I can’t explain it in a letter. I only know it made it into space + is soposed to be off orbit a little but you’ll know about it before you get this letter.

    Let’s see I’ve got about a half dozen girlfriends NOW.

        See Ya,
Love Dave
