Dear Gladys & Jack -

     Just a line to say hello and to thank you both for a wonderful visit.  I can't tell you how much we enjoyed seeing all of you after such a long time.  And Gladys, I can still taste your fried chicken & baked ham.  Delicious!
    I hope you can read this - I broke my glasses - shattered into a million pieces - and I can barely see what I am writing in these driving glasses, in fact its all a sort of blur.
    Anyway, again thanks & and Mother and I send our love to you all.  We enjoyed the day with Jean so much and appreciate her coming from Columbia and
