My dear Mahlon -
Every day in every way, you become more prosperous. First, a wonderful wife and then a son. You know, of course, all the congratulations and best wishes possible come from me to you and your dear wife Dot.
I know you are happy and proud to be a Father. I am also happy and proud to be an Uncle.
Must close as I have a lot to do. Please remember me to Mother, and the Grandparents.
Love to all,
John
PS. See you Xmas.
