1968 MV to John Postcard -July 1

[We all know how talented MV is – here's a postcard she typed at quite a young age, 

or more likely dictated to the typist]

Tuesday 7/1/68

Dearest John,

Found this card and thought about you.  Thanks for the card I received this morning and also one to the whole family.  Too bad you had to move but bet it makes Kevin feel better that you have farther to go.  Glad to hear the food is so good.  I am going out to Anita Penn's today and am to take my bathing suit.  Mother is cleaning the back porch and patio.  Catherine rode her bike to Wilmington or some place.  Do have a real good time & we are always glad to hear from you.

Love and XXXXXXXXXX, MARY VA.
