So I thought the safer way was to send you a few
"eats" by way of this agency I speak of --- I hope [underlined]
they reach you safely dear -- Of course we
will send the Red Cross box too [underlined] if you send
us the slip authorizing it -- but cannot
otherwise. Miss Haldan wants you to
send the request for sox also -- So we can
send those she made for you.

I labeled the enlargement of your photo from
"Edward [underlined] to Father - Wishing him many happy
autums [autumns] and he says to tell you that "you
could not have given him anything finer"
