Can you help me read this? I bought a book from a charity shop and this note was buried a few pages in and I’d like to understand it but I’m struggling with the handwriting. Seems this book was a gift for someone 🙂

Hi annie, remembering your birthday a few days late.
Something about elvis?
If it helps the book is a special edition Elvis Biography
First bit is remembering your birthday a few days late.
Last bit seems to be ‘and I’m sure Elvis would wave too’
Hi Annie
Remembering your birthday a few days late!
Anyway, we love you & I’m sure Elvis would have too
Love
Russ & Peg
Hi Annie, Remembering your birthday a few days late! Anyway, we love you and I’m sure Elvis would have too. Love, Russ & Peg.
“Hi Annie,
Remembering Yom’s birthday, a fear days late.
Anyway, why love you? I’ve some Elves, have you too?”
I’m guessing Russ may have had a terrible time at Yom’s birthday, traumatic even. Only dawns on him a few days after and he writes to Annie questioning why anyone would love her.
Finishes off gloating about his elves.
Sure no problem.

I’m not sure why you’re struggling. It’s quite clearly written:

Hi Annie, remembering your birthday a few days late.
Idk what the second line says. They write like my grandma, and I need help reading that 😅
“Hi Annie, Remembering your birthday a few days late. Anyway, my [word] you & I’m sure Elvis would have too.
Russ & Peg”
That’s the most I got but I think the other comment there is spot on.
“Hi, Annie,
Remembering your birthday a few days late!
Anyway, my [?] loves you + I’m sure Elvis would have too.
Love,
Russ + Peg. “
Reminds me of ‘Found’ Magazine, really cool project of different types of writing such as this letter in the book.
Hi Annie,
Remembering your birthday a few days late! Anyway, we love you and I’m sure Elvis would wave too.

Hi Annie,
Remembering your symptoms, I’ve prescribed you with Benylin for a few days.
Take this note to your local pharmacist and they’ll have it ready for you.
Dr. Russtpeg
They’ve got those pretzels here… 5 dollars??
I’ll translate
“Hi Annie
Remembering your birthday a few days late.
Yours is a butt that won’t quit
Signed
Rufus Pig”
Hi Annie, remembering you writhing on a few dogs ears! Anyway, my ass yon and I’m sure Elvis would wax too.

I learned cursive at school, which makes me feel old. This is very much a generation thing. Anyone over 30 should be able to read this note. :/
Hi Annie remembering your birthday a few days late, and that’s as far as I can understand it.

Russ and pegs note wasn’t that appreciated in the end. 🤷♂️
Of course if they had written it a bit clearer
“Get a real bookmark, ye cheap fuck’
The first bit was ok to understand, but I read the end of it as “five dollars? Get outta here
Hi Annie,
Remembering your birthday a few days late!
Anyway, we love you, and I’m sure Elvis would have too.

Is this an “I can’t read cursive” situation? Because this is fairly legible.
Then again, I am a teacher so I do have experience reading rough handwriting.
Sure thing!
