Letter to Scottie

February 13, 1930 Dear father, I just received your letter and I am writing you back. Even if you are my father and I should take everything you tell me as good advice, I do not agree with on what you wrote me. I understand your point of view about life and values. However, I want to tell you that I am not the child you were with in Baltimore. We are in the 1930s now and …

…that my father wishes for her daughter. 10/20/02Every time you write to me, you tell me that I am not doing anything and I am an idler. Perhaps, it seems that way to you, but I am doing great things, which I am proud of. In fact, that is all I need. Love you Daddy. Your Daughter Scottie P.S. I did not read your letter twice. P.P.S. I will keep your diary.
