Letter to his younger sister, Anne, nicknamed “Nita,” congratulating her on the birth of her first son, Peter Wilson Patton, in full: “I think that it is the fourth inspite of the heading to this letter. You must be all excited about Peter Wilson, I hope and expect that he turns out satisfactory. Dr. Rudolph Holmes the famous baby doctor of Chicago told me that in his opinion it was all a question of invironment [sic] and [learning] and not at all a question of blood lines. If that is so Peter should be especially [fine] for I know no one who has higher ideals than you. We hunted or rode six days last week in Cobbler and yesterday left here at 4:40 A.M. (having retired at 12:15 P.M. to hunt in the rain. Such is the effect of the lust for slaughter of the wily fox. We killed a skunk and knew all about it, via the nose. There is little other news. We are about settled and are having a good time as usual. Will sign the Paper Jerry sent me as [soon] as I can find a notary. CHEERS for PETER.” In fine condition.
