Sam,
I have one hundred eleven American dollars saved. With that, I am boarding the ship that will
take me to the new land. There is nothing
for me here. Once there, I will write to
let you know where I am.
Do not try to follow me.
Even if the ship should leave a wake, it may dwindle to nothing, leaving
no trail for you to find and you will be left to float aimlessly at sea. So, if you do follow, bring a sandwich or
something for your journey.
Tell Mama I said good-bye.
I have left some rocks by the side door.
She can place them around her garden to keep the rabbits out. It’s a lot of rocks.
PS
If I change my mind I’ll be home
by 6, so don’t eat my dessert.

I made it a half a block before Mom said: "Get back here right now"!
