(seq. 31)

No doubt you must know
that Elsie committed suicide.
It all upset me when I received
a letter from her sister telling
me the news. Elsie and I
were like sisters while we
were in Framingham. She
was a lovely girl and it is
really hard to believe her dead.
Her sister and I write back
and forth now. She sent me
a lovely picture of Elsie, taken
about three weeks before her
death. That picture means a
lot to me.

I'm piecing a quilt in my
spare moments. I put one to-
gether last week that I had
blocks enough for.
