Dear Socks,
I have a cat named Harry and I play with Harry all the time. I showed Harry a picture of you but he didn't say anything.
Your friend, Randy B., age 10, Baltimore

Dear Socks,
I would like to give you a big kiss and hug even if you are a Democrat. My father doesn't know I wrote this letter.
Love, Lisa, age 8
