September 21 in A.A. History

	In 1902, six-year-old Bill W. [left, c. 1902] wrote to his mother, Emily [right, c. 1905], who was away with his sister, Dorothy: Dear Mama,     School has begun and we are in the second reader. I have a brand new arithmetic. We have the same teacher that was here before. I have two new under teeth. They look just like little saws. Granpa and I went to Captain Thomases show. The Cap is a slick one. When are you and Dorothy coming home? I want to see you ever so much. I try to be a good boy. Grandpa says I am. I am learning to read and do numbers very fast.     From your little son Willie.     P.S. Kiss sister for me.
