Dear Petie
The farm smells awful. I don't know what to do lots of the time, because I don't have many chores. I don't like animals much and they don't like me. Some day I know they're going to trample me over when I feed them. The farm doesn't have a TV so I'm real bored. Remember that time when we used to make up tv shows, well I made up a new one about submarine that is searching the sea, when suddenly it turns into a rocket and defeats some aliens on planet Glob. Remember when you made a Petie Burkis special? I gotta cousin that likes food real bad. She'd love a Petie Burkis special. I sleep in Bubba's room. Anyone would know it is not my room because on the bookshelf there is a shotgun, a stuffed squirrel, bird eggs and bird nests, I would never fire a shot gun.
It doesn't sound very interesting but I saw a black fox. I know it is your style but - BLACK FOX SEEN BY BOY.
I was sitting writing my last letter when I looked up and saw a black fox. We stared at each other for hours, well minutes I guess but it seemed like hours. I didn't want to tell Aunt Millie or Uncle Fred because they wouldn't believe it. Do you rememeber that time when we ran down the street pretending that a black fox was chasing us? We didn't think there was such a thing, well I saw one.
Write Soon
Tom
ps - it's real boring here!
