Dearest Mrs Van Walters,
We finally arrived at home + we sure did have a bad time of it as Elizabeth was very sick all the way home + we had to stop + let her throw up + have her walk around. We also stopped at a drug store + got her + seltzer + then when that came up she felt better.
She is still at our house as the gang of hoodlums are coming + have dinner together + you can believe me we sure are very happy - more than thankful.
She thought you'd like to hear from her + so I thought I'd drop you a line
(seq. 12)
She's been lying down all afternoon + seems to feel better now + is she glad to be back.
If there ever was anyone that idolized a person she was does idolize you + wonders how your health is going to be as she says she loved to do thing's for you.
I will close now as it was meant to be a note + again we "Thank You" from the bottom of our hearts.
Love from Elizabeth + if you knew us better we'd send ours but we'll wait until you do +I hope it will be soon.
Sincerely
[Theresa?] M. [Mithers?]

REFORMATORY FOR WOMEN NOV 25 1941 FRAMINGHAM
November 20, 1941
Dr. Miriam Van Waters Box 99 Framingham, Mass.
Dear Dr. Van Waters:
I wish to extend my appreciation to you for the kindness and understanding that was shown me both during my stay there at Framingham and during my Parole, also for your kindness in letting me have my own choice of Miss Bode, for a Parole Officer. During this period, especially during my Parole, there were many times that I became very discouraged but with Miss Bode ready to advise me at all times, I just had to make the grade.
Now that my Parole is over and no matter where I go, I shall always have some very pleasant memories of Framingham and what is being done for the girls and children there.
I would like very much to do something for the children in the Nursery at Christmas, and am wondering if you would grant me that permission. If so, would it be possible to have the name and age of each child both at Medical Nursery and Wilson Cottage, so that I can get something for each individual child. It would make my Christmas so much happier if I could do this. Please let me know.
May God bless each and every one there at Framingham, and thank you once again.
Sincerely, Marion G. Moeckel

Miss Marion G. Moeckel c/o The Central Y. M. C. A. 1421 Arch St., Philadelphia, Pa.
Dear Marion:
Thank you very much indeed for your letter of November 26th. Since then, we have had the holidays, and they were pleasant for us all. Except tht it makes us all so busy, we would not mind if the holidays came oftener.
All goes well here and everyone does her best.
I am interested in your intention of joining the Waves or the Waaca, and do not see any reason why you could not and I hope your health has improved enough so that you feel equal to it. It is a very intereresting service, and an excellent way to do one's bit. We have rather a large honor roll of folks in the army, and navy, and we get very interesting reports from most of them. I shall be pleased to hear whether you actually do enter the service, and wish you the very best of success in whichever branch of it you choose.
I do not know whether you really did get to Framingham around Christmas but hope that you had a pleasant day, and that the New Year will be a splendid one for you. Is your father fully recovered now? I do hope so, and I am glad that his operation was so successful.
I am always glad to hear from you, Marion, and I hope that all of your hopes and plans for 1943 will materialize.
Every good wish to you, and a blessing.
Cordially,
Superintendent
