Visitors...

Dear Nicky,

Today's the Fourth of July. We spent quite some time on the beach and you got some color in your cheeks from the light reflected off the water and sand. The sea air makes you sleepy, we think. All this fresh air must be so good for you. Your mother's folks came down early this morning, and they're both in our place right now. It makes it hard to concentrate, so I'll sign off now.

Love,
Dad
