She and little Anna are dear little ones. Anna is especially full of fun and says many quaint things which make the others laugh. She has just come to my side with her grandfather's glasses on. I wonder if you could not find some little books or pictures to send. I did not have time to get much before I started (two little dolls) which I told them were from their aunt Anna.
