My dear Mrs. Sipper Sopper

I am very sorry that I cannot be at home on Monday to wish you many happy returns of your birthday.

I hope you will have plenty of fun & games, perhaps Mamma may invite a few of your little friends, the Wards or the Drakes, & then I know you would enjoy yourself, but you must be careful not to run about too much for you know I want you to be able to take walks with me when I come back.

Don’t let Mamma forget to give you my present on Monday.

I hope you take good care of Mrs. Wabs, & that you are good to dear Puss & Frank & of course dear Mama. Give my love to all of them and believe me

your affectionate father

P. O’Reilly
