After you work on some of the "Have-More" projects, you may well find you are so interested you would like to expand one of them on your very own and develop it to "pin-money" size. I, for example, really adore the geese and next year I think I'll raise a fair-sized flock.

There's one more vital point in what the "Have-More" Plan means to me. That's Jack Robinson, our little son. I can't begin to tell you what our new way of life is doing for him. He loves all the animals and already at the age of four wants to help take care of them. And we let him to the best of his tiny ability. He is already an independent little thing, afraid of nothing. And need I say what has been written so many times before - by seeing and helping care for our animals he will naturally grow up knowing many facts of life (and I don't mean just sex, though that is included). Furthermore he will have a basic understanding of what living is all about and what it means to earn his own bread. I believe it is frequently the country boys who have made good in America-anyhow, I sincerely believe we are giving Jackie the best opportunity in the world to learn everything from hammering a nail to developing an intelligent and responsible personality.

And what's more - he will have all the childhood fun for which country life is famous. From his standpoint alone all this is worthwhile.

As you can see, I can't even keep "we" out of my own letter to you. Your husband can't "Have-More" alone - he needs all your interest and help - but isn't that the way you want it? If you start the "Have-More" Plan. I truly believe you'll find many intangible rewards for yourself and your entire family for you'll all be working together, probably more so than ever before in your lives.

My very best wishes to you with your plan - I hope you'll get as much fun and deep satisfaction out of it as I.

Sincerely, Carolyn Robinson
