Later we got to inspecting the gifts which you and other had so generously supplied.

The family is especially looking forward to seeing you again when convenient. They enjoyed their visit and want me to thank you for them.

Once again our thanks for your generosity.

Dear Mrs. Van Waters;

Thank you for your kind letter.

In regard to Peter's birthday - He said he would like a bicycle. The other two boys have one, and he feels that he is left out in the cold.

I realize that this is an expensive gift, and

#2 you may not care to make such an outlay. In that event a chenille or cotton bedspread will be very much appreciated.

Many thanks in behalf of the family.

Sincerely, Sue Durgin
