Dear Helene:
    Here  I  am  going  to  thank  you most
gratefully  for  our share in the wonderful
parcels  you  so  kindly sent to Marks & Co.
I wish I could send you something in return.
    By the way,  Helene,  this week we have
become the proud possessors of a car, not a
new one,  mind you,  but it goes and that’s
what matters isn’t it?  Now  maybe you will
tell us you’re paying us a call?
    Mrs. Boulton put up two cousins of mine
who came down from Scotland for a couple of
weeks  and  they were very comfortable. She
bedded them and I fed them.  Now  if by any
chance  you  can manage the fare to England
next year for the Coronation,  Mrs. Boulton
will see that you have a bed.
    Well, I’ll say so long for now and send
you  our  best wishes and thanks once again
for the meat and eggs.

                          Your sincerely,
                          Nora
