    Dearest La Verne:

    Your letter was a very pleasant surprise I sure did feel good when I saw your writing I opened it even before Onnellee’s.

    I had an address of yours, but I did thought you had moved since. So I asked Frances what it was in my last letter to her. She’ll probably send it in her next letter. But however I’m glad you got mine & wrote to me. I guess I’ve written about 25 or th 30 letters & I don’t know how many cards since I came a week ago.

    Dear La Verne:

    I finally have settled myself enough to write to you, even though it is the first letter I have written in a long time.

    Well I hope you are well. I am fine outside of the little touch of that hay fever which I get every year.
