February, 1927
Dearest Florrie,
Was pleased to get your letter today. It looked as if you had got much stronger. When you are able to walk around you will mend quick but be sure and take good care of yourself.
I am sure Frank’s had a worrying time but thank God you pulled through it. Will be lovely in another few months with your two boys growing up together and knowing you won’t have to go through it again.
You haven’t told me what wee Frank is like yet, is his skin as pretty as Lorna Doone? Florrie when I think of that little face (Tom) looking through the bottom of the bed in the early morning saying ah ah to get you to get his bottle where he would …(illegible). (two more illegible sentences).
We have just had a good heavy rain and everything smells so nice. I met Edna today she sure was glad to hear you were out of the hospital she sends all her love. She looks better than I have seen her. She says you have to go 50, 50 with
the boys. Everybody sends you lots of love and kisses for the babies. Will write you soon again. Am sending you a little parcel.
Your loving Mama
