She wishes him a happy birthday. She is glad that he will visit Sister St. John McMaster, D.C. who must give him the twenty-one "hugs" for them all. She cannot realize that twenty-one years have passed since John was born. Their long talks must wait until Heaven, but he is more dear to her than ever. She is glad he is spending May 2, 1887 with Uncle Will. John should not clip articles from the Freeman, but just send the whole paper. If John finds a relic of St. Paul of the Cross among his father's papers he should send it. She asks him for Auntie Brown's address. A picture will be enclosed. Regards. :: I-2-m A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
