have some new beds. My old
ones are so full. I had a great
time planting and transplanting
last year to get everything to
suit me. I hope you liked
the photographs I sent of my
flowers. I do not think Mr. Holbert
is dangerously ill and it is a
mercy he is not, for he has not
taken one bit of care of himself
since he came home. He joins
me in wishing you a Happy
New Year and with love to you.
I am sincerely your friend,
Marian Holbert Reynolds
