my dearest kitty,
yesterday was father''s birthday, father and mother''s neenth wedding anniversary, a day without the cleaningdy. . . and the sun was shining as it''s never shone before in 1944. our chestnut tree is in full bloom. it''s covered with leaves and is even more beautiful thanst year.
father received a biography of linnaeus from mr. kleiman, a book on nature from mr. kugler, the canals of amsterdam from dussel, a huge box from the van daans (wrapped so beautifully it might have been done by a professional), containing three eggs, a bottle of beer, a jar of yogurt and a green tie. it made our jar of msses seem rather paltry. my roses smelled wonderfulpared to miep and bep''s red carnations. he was thoroughly spoiled. fifty petits fours arrived from siemons''
bakery, delicious! father also treated us to spice cake, the men to beer and thedies to yogurt. everything was scrumptious!
yours, anne m. frank
