Saturday eve.

Dr. Dear

I said Id fill one of these
cards some day but I'll try
to be brief. Left the house at
11 A.M. in a soft rain and
too a poor kid with us
thats been locked up in the
Fernell School over 15 yrs. He
is 25 big + strong but re-
tarded. Loves fishing off the
pier but never catches anything
We got 30 flounders and every
one amazed and pleased him and
as we started home at 6 P.M.
and he whispered to me "Would
he let me [stear?] it in?" He did
and Dr it was a delightful day.
We went in slowly and were
escorted all the way by a big
green headed duck with a white
collar on and a little drab girl
duck. A flock of tiny little
sand pipers ran along the shore
with us and Gulls + Wild
Duck over head. You were with
us and for seven lovely hours
I really lived. Love dear
Mae
