Dearest Mother:-

It was wonderful at last to see
your handwriting again! We expected you to be as
generous with letters as usual, writing to American
Express Co. which always reaches us, but you were wise
to wait for our own home address.

We are bowled over by the stunning
photographs of Ma and Sun- my I certainly am
proud of my sisters! Ma was bound to take the cake
so I'm not a bit surprised by the article in Oak Leaves
and all Sunny needs is the same chance to go and
do likewise. I think her profession is a dandy and
as a recent occupant inmate I mean of a hospital I can truthfully
say that I wish more intelligent girls of our
class would go in for it - clear eyes and head
and health and firm hands make an awful
lot of difference in a patient's carer, don't you
think so?

Did I fail to acknowledge the receipt
of the wonderful family pictures with such interesting
notes on the back. That I failed to do so shows what
a stew we were in when I wrote for we were
greatly impressed with their charm and value to
