Ruth Weinberg
My Dearest Friend:
Just a line to let you know we got home safe and sound at 20 minutes of eleven.
I was so sorry I didn't see you at the party as I had looked forward to seeing you so much.
I left Mary Ann's address with Miss Vann. I hope you can drop her a line as she would love to hear from you, she was so sorry she couldn't come but she had to be back at Bainbridge Friday the 7th at 9 a.m. she started school today.
I hope you had a nice time with your dear Mother. Please remember me to her. I do not know her but knowing you I know she can't help but being a marveous person. I had a wonderful time at the party. I was so pleased to see Miss Stowers, Miss [Greon] and Miss Gladding and our Dear Dr. Van Waters. I also met Dr. Van Waters Friend a Mrs. Jackson {[Mrs] Dorothy Jepson] I think her name is. She is so nice I wonder if you oould get her address for me as I would love to write to her and thank her for being so kind to me and my son. As you know I am more or less shy and don't mix in with people to much well I guess she noticed it and she came and sat with me and talked to me for quite a while. I only wish I were not so shy. I think I am self concious I only wish I could be different but don't take me wrong I had a wonderful time and look forward to next year. Well I must close Miss Weinberg and get my wash started as my water is now hot. I hope and pray I hear from you real soon and thanks a million for giving me the opportunity to having an enjoyable day once a year I shall never be able to thank you enough.
God Bless you and yours always,
Sincerely
Marie Ranville Oriole St. R.F.D. #2 W. Franklin, N.H.

I am going frantic into the days and heartaches of a world I do not know; True it is in my own country, but to a part of it I have never seen and of which I know nothing of; and to a new life; I am leaving behind me the things I have grown used to, for new and unknown things, but the pleasant hours I have spent with you are here in this cosy room, shall linger in my memory for a long time to come. I have enjoyed those meetings and have found a great deal of joy and friendship therein, I honestly will miss it, and you; I hope literary group meetings will contine and I hope it gives some of you the joy it has given me, the world is in great trouble now and it is groups like this one that add to the joys of a troubled people, may God bless each of you and help you to find your way in the world.
I am not a good letter writer but I hope you will understand what I mean to say. Thank you Doctor for granting me the privilege of being one of the tgirls
Best wishes to all
