Dear Miss Kelley:

How are you?
Thank you for your nice
Xmas card. I am most
anxious to hear how
Mrs. Van Waters is. I do
hope she if getting a-
long without too much
pain. I know she
must be terribly uncom-
fortable. Please send
me her address as I
would like to send her
a note.

Christmas was
not very gay this year
but it was nice in some
ways too. For the first
time since I was a child
I helped trim a tree and
had my Christmas din-
ner with a real family,
it Helen's of course. She
had a small party the
nite before - Georgie S.
came but I got mad

P.S. You are forgetting it is Mrs Brown!
