1968 Jean to John Letter -July 1

[Camp Cartwright Church Camp 7-1-68 Received?]
Dearest John,

You are still in bed asleep but already we realize how different it is going to be with you away at camp.  But we know how long you have looked forward to going and what a big time is in store for you.  Do make the very most of it – meeting many new friends.  It's fine that you and Kevin are going together for it helps to take the edge off the strangeness but don't cling to each other or you might as well stay home.

We are anxious to hear all about everything you are doing – your cabin-mates, counselors, and so many things that we will be looking forward to the mail so at least write once.  Do take some pictures and get the addresses of your new friends – and above all – enjoy yourself – It's a first experience of that sort for many others so help them as well as yourself get over the hump by being friendly.

Guess I've given enough instructions.  And since I can't tell you any news will close now and will try to get another letter off to you before you are packed up to come home on Friday.

Love from all of us 
and XXXXXX
Mother
