[Black ink] My dear Suzie, I hope you will excuse the label but this book is a very special favorite of mine given to me as a prize at school. I hope you will like it as much as I do and that it might help to attract you this old country of mine some day. This is the part of England where America really started and where I spent many happy summer days as a child so, you see, it is of special interest to you and I. Your affectionate Johnny.
