A Good Old Soccer Ball

Oct. 1, 1977, Sat.

Dear Grama,

How are you? I am fine. I was lucky enough that school didn't start on my birthday. We went to put-put for a surprize party. I got 2 models, a frisbe, a pencil, a game, a fish little thing with a hook to catch a little ring, and of course a good old soccer ball. Today will be Devins first day in junyors. I bought some new stationaru. It has four diferent colors. Thanks for the chek.

Love
Allen
