Dear Mrs Van Waters.

I have just finished something that I would like to have you see before it is delivered to its owner. If you have a spare moment after dinner may I bring it over. It is the first one I ever made and I want you to see it.

Dear Dr. Van Waters

Just a few lines to let you know that I am fine and hope this letter finds you in the best of health.

I am so happy to be home, and my brother was very glad to have me home.

All the children got so big, I just couldn't get over them.

I'm doing the housekeeping, and taking care of the children.

As for my children, my exhusband has them, he got married again and he took the children of mine, from Brightside School and has them with him.

I'm going to see him and ask him if I can take the children for Christmas.

Well I guess that is all for now, but will write again next week.

Hope to hear from you soon I will answer any letter you write to me.

I'm going to send a card to George, Rickey and Peter, today I still miss them.

Respectfully yours, Jeanette Dube

My dear Jeannette:

It is indeed good to hear that you are so happy, and that you had a most enjoyable Thanksgiving.

We here in Framingham had a lovely Thanksgiving - our Assembly was nicer than ever and dinner was excellent.

Your friends here send you their best wishes for a very happy holiday season.

Sincerely yours,

Miriam Van Waters Superintendent
