3- Another New Zealand Post Card

This is another postcard that was in the albums . On the front Delos wrote, "How are the little pigs and the little calfs. Do you think Fox [the family dog] would scare a cat up a tree? Can a dog climb a tree? Can a pig?". On the reverse is written, "Nov. 2, 1913. Hello Little Brother. How are you coming on? Do you feel fine? Is your appetite good? And are you getting tough? Do you remember Delos? You mustn't forget him you know. Tell Mama and Papa to get your pictures and all ofyour pictures. With love from Le Exile."

This postcard picture was sent to my father from his older brother, Delos, from his mission in New Zealand. On the back it is dated Mar 26, 1916, and says, "Ki a takie teina. Na tona tuahona. How would you like mama to carry you on her back like this? You wouldn't want mama to smoke and come [sic] her hair like this would you? Delos would like to see Kenneth and Carlos and all of you very much tonight. Maby he'll dream of you. Love to little brother from Delos.
