Dear Dr Van Waters

Thank you - the jacket
is lovely . I have not seen you
to tell you how much I enjoy
it - fits too . Ann [Markey?] - certainly
has had or given herself a tough
blow this time . It hurt me to see
her so depressed and out of hope.
Perhaps the [library?] will give her
back some confidence. She did so
love to woalk outside - I think she
misses that more than anything - she
has not been out since she returned.

Thank you again for your thoughtgul
gifts . Lucille
