U.S.A. - Connecticut - 12.11.1962

Connecticut is an Indian term meaning 'upon a long river'.  The State Flower is the Mountain Laurel, the Bird is the Robin, the Tree is the White Oak, and the Motto is 'Qui Transtulit Sustinet'  -  He who Transplanted still Sustains.
Greetings from Old Greenwich, Conn.

Dear Timmy,

     Puzzle, find the inkspot.  We are just round the corner from Greenwich.  There is a trout stream just across the road where Bob, the son in this household, fishes, it's really a lovely part of the world.

     Love Nan

Dear Mer,

     This is the sort of Autumn colouring I've been seeing all across the country.  Here, there is very little green left.  Have they got a doll yet in Australia that repeats everything you say to it?  Iv'e only seen it on T.V. but it is really something.

     Love Nan.

Dear Fish ( Nick),

     I hope you like pictures of boats.  There are just lots and lots of boats around here.

     Love Nan
