My grandfather would be 73 today. It’s his birthday. This date also tells me that I would be in Maine this week if we had kept up the tradition with the Torrances. I received a letter from Melissa yesterday. I needn’t say that it made me very happy. I sent her a nice little package which I entrusted with the mailman. I plan to spend my day indoors. I have nothing more to say but that as everyday, I look forward to going home.
