My dear Dr. Van Waters -
Christmas! I never could have
believed it if I had not experienced it
here! Every time I turned around
someone was inviting me to a party -
or else thrusting a gift into my
hands! It was truly unbelievable!

The lovely stole [Maud?] Ophelia
has come into use many timesand sat in my
room and the nice warm scarf from the
Rayers has been out many times with me
and I thank you sincerely for them both.
They are only two of the many gifts I received.

We are all most happy to
hear of your continued climb back to good
health again. May you have many more
years of accomplishment and success with
