Dear Dr. Van Waters:,

Your most welcomed letter arrived.

I'm so pleased to hear that the picnic was an enjoyable one for all who went.

My children are both fine. Linda is doing much better since she had her tonsils out. I got her some Father Johns Tonic to build her up now.

I've been doing a lot of my spring cleaning. And putting our winter things away. Our garden

is lovely. I made a salad with some of our lettuce & radishes. Even our tomatoes are coming better this year. Give everyone my regards & Susan & Ralphie. We are going to New Jersey for a week starting Monday we can visit my brother while were there. Our home is coming along nicely we have the cellar mostly done. It only will be a ranch style 4 rm place. Well I must find the children now regards to everyone. As ever Rose Family

Best Susan & Ralphie Anne [?] Return
