From Harwick Road to Chestnut Street

Dear Silas,
Volcanoes only explode, and Pompeii was a good town. It had a volcano, and it exploded on the town! And now it is dead. You are very kind, and Pompeii was buried before it was even volcanoed.
<James: Owen, let me tell you something. Mt. Vesuvius erupted on August 24th, AD 79.>
That was a good Pompeii story.
Gymnastics is very fun. I like presents on mine birthday. I'm a good sport guy by doing both of them.
I love you, Silas. Owen

Dear Roland,
Mine favorite Jack and Annie book was Volcano in Pompeii. Sometimes we don't go in carwashes. I'm sorry I'm faster than you. Football is fun. We watched the Buffalo Bills play the Colts, and the Colts were winning. I love you, Roland. Owen

Dear Aunt Martha,
You are a kind guy. We like you. We like the Titanic, and it was a BIG ship.
<James: It sank in the year 1912.>
Yeah, on August 49th.
<James: No, it sank on April 15th. It hit the iceberg on April 14th at 11:40>
The Titanic sunk hitting a iceberg. The Bismarck sunk by a lot of other ships and torpee-toes.
<James: It sank by airplanes that dropped the torpedoes.>
I love you, Aunt Martha. Owen

Dear Silas,
Volcanoes do nothing but erupt and sleep. Just so you know, you are a sponge. Well, I hope you are excited for Halloween, because Owen calls a dragon that we walk to see "The Scary Dragon" and two things that Owen calls "Stacked Pumpkins" and the "Scary Cat" in the neighbor's yard that he likes to see too. School is something that I don't really like.
Sincerely James O. D. O. Smith
P.S. I do not want to be a football player when I grow up.

Dear Roland,
Ahem. And now you do something that you love. What is it? Why don't you read Exploring the Titanic by Dr. Robert Ballard.
Sincerely, James O. P. E. Smith
P.S. You are a house.

Dear Aunt Martha,
Please come to my birthday. And Silas and Roland too. Tell them they are crocodiles, please. Please do something good. And I hope you like the guests at my birthday. Did you like the guests and Felix's birthday.
Sincerely, James O. P. O. D. O. Smith
PS When is the next time you are going out to Albion?
