    Dear Katherine: I really don't know if you owe me a letter or I you, but I shall ignore such a trifle. How have you been and what are you doing? I hear Dorothy is in college, so can imagine how much you...

    [Letter Page 2] ...must miss her. Both my girls are in college now but thank goodness they sleep home. I am very selfish I guess but I am so glad they decided not to go away. Of course it was up to them to do as they wanted. Helen is having such a good time going out that she just would not hear of going away.

    [Letter Page 3] How is your new home getting along, or has the newness worn off. I am fixing mine up a bit now. Had the furniture recovered etc. and it keeps me busy trying to hurry things along. Write and tell me all about everything as you know how interested I am. How have you been feeling? I have a great many bad days but am thankful for the good ones. When are you...

    [Letter Page 4] ...coming to N.Y. again? I am so anxious to see you. Now do write me soon all about all of you. Don't dare to leave anyone out. And how is Carrie? My how I wish we were all sitting together having a good long old fashioned chat. How about it? Perhaps you will surprise yourself, not to mention me, and come to N.Y. real soon. Please do. Love to you all from Julia. Sunday.
