Date
1900 to 1910
Description
Of course this is more serious than our darling is as a rule but she was trying to understand the artist's [aunties?]!! I am sure you will need consolation when this reaches you but rejoice for us that your loss is our gain,. One great objection to our good old U.S.A. is its size. I really believe Mary and Joan will be happy and comfy here. It is almost country life and we will do all we can for them. The [Addisons?] is written on the back of the holiday postcard.
