One summer day Mrs. Anne Blythe received a letter from her grandson young Jack Blythe. Young Jack was very precocious for a seven-year-old boy, but alas, his grammar and spelling were lacking somewhat. Anne was happy she was quite a few miles away from her beloved Jack, for she made it a rule never to laugh at children to their face.
Dear Grandmother Blythe,
Its been ages since you and Grandfather came to see us at green gables. Wont you please come see us soon. Father sed I should right you this letter because he didn't have the answer to my problem. The problem is ever so important, I cant sleep at nite and think about it all the time. It all started last wensday I was with Keith Wright and we were playing solders and hiding in a bush cuse the huns were coming looking for us. We heard miss josie pie and mrs Amasa Andrews talking. And they were talking about my mum. Why were they talking about my mum I thought and I didn't know. They said mrs dokter Blythe must of lost her mind giving her young uns a rooster as a pet who ever herd of such a thing. Mabe they didn't but I did, I was going to tell them that mum had a pet rooster when she was little and she loved him just like we love are little gorge. But what reely was important was they sed mum lost her mind. Keith and I thought a mind must be a very important thing and we should go look fir it so we can give it bak to mum. But it must be a surprise mum musnt find out we know that she lost her mind.
Me and Keith thought we should go look were she lost it. They said she lost it when she gave us the rooster. She gave us gorge in the yard. so we went to the yard and looked all over it. Now, me and keith never sow a mind before so we don't know what it looks like but keith said we would probobly notice it if it was there. Keith is awfully clever. We looked and looked and looked but we couldnt find anything that didn't belong in a yard. The only thing we found was a old shoe we didn't think that was a mind. Do you remember a old shoe in the yard, of corse it wasn't old when you lived in green gables.
Next I thought we should go to the school house. I once heard someone say that school forms a young persens mind. We don't reely know what form is but, we decided it is a good place to look for a mind. So we went to the school, the teacher was out. Oh grandmother, you would like are teacher she is so pretty and good and nice and she dosnt laff at kids. But Billi Mcgillis was there. Billi is the person that cleans the school. The bord decided that avonlea school needs a cleaner. Is was ever such a big fight, did you know that grown ups fight only they don't call it that. Father sed that grown ups don't fight they discuss. When im grown up will I also discuss?
I asked billi if he knew were a mind might be. I don't think Billi is very bright or very wel mannerd. He didn't seem to understand us and just steard at us. Mum always ses it aint manners to stear at people. Now I know why. its not very nice when people stear at you, you feel kindaf funny inside. We said we was looking for a mind that mihte have been lost last week. Billi jus steard at us so we left. Keith figgerd that if mums mind was there Billi would know even if he was a bit thick. Did I tell you how clever Keith is. am I gonna be clever like keith when im almost eight? I hope so
We decided we might not find mums owne mind, but mabe she could get a new mind. We thought we should go to the store and by one. It mihte be awfully expensive but we wanted to know forshir. So we went to Mr Williams store mum never goese ther so we went there so mum wouldn't see us. I went in alone keith watched owtside if someone comes that we know that will tell mum and it wont be a suprise. Do you have minds I said to mr. wiliams. Mr wiliams isn't very manners either. He also steard at me. A mind, mothers lost hers and I want to by her a new one. Do you know what he did. He laffed and laffed and laffed.and then he cried and cried and laffed and laffed and he was so red I thougt he would pop like a balloon. But he didn't.
I knew he wouldn't give me a mind so I figgerd I better ask father. Father alwes knows how to help my problems.
Keith had to go home to orcherd slope were you reely friends with mrs Wright when you were little? Was she fat then to? She is awfully funny and kind but she is fat. Keith is afraid he will be fat when he is old will he? I want to be just like you when I am old.
I told father all the story how we heard the ladys talk and went to look for mums mind. And do you know. Father didn't stear at me or laff. Why do grown ups alwes laff at kids? When I, a grown up I wont laff at kids. I will be like my grown ups they never laff at me.
Father sed I should rite you the letter and ask you were to look for mums mind. He sed you alwes knew how to help him with his problems wen he was a boy. I also want to know if you know were mothers rooster is she wodnt tel me were I could find it. Does it live with Grandfather And Grandmother Meredith and Aunt Una?
Please rite fast.
I love you ever so much
Your grandson John Meredith Blythe
Anne did answer this letter, but unfortunately, seven-year-old Jack Blythe didn't keep as orderly a filing system as his grandmother. A copy of that letter full of loving and reassuring words explaining the metaphysical in words a young child could understand was forever lost.
