Hip Hip Horrah!!
Now that is good! But if we cant [scare?] up a boy we can [illegible] you on time. Well many good wishes for the young mans health and manys quick and safe return to strength and health. Our little K—(Jay wont let me say what my pet name is for baby) is getting to be a regular frolick and claims the most of my time whe I am in the house, she is up to lots of little pranks.
Truly Walter Brown

P.S. Father seems quite comfortable but has not got well of his complaints yet and says he feels better to lie in bed and so has not been down stairs yet. Ethel is quite well.
