Dearest Mummie & Grandma:

 Got your letters just as I had mailed one to you. How nice of you, Grandma, to offer to make me some portieres. I shall be delighted to have them and I will rustle around immediately and collect silk things to s end you. Max has a number of old neckties to contribute and Margaret has promised me some things. I shall probably get quite a quantity of silk from my neighbors. I think that I have nothing of my own to send except my old blue silk dress and a few ribbons.
 Max and I are so pleased with our new or rather old home and are enjoying so much fixing it up and arranging and rearranging things.  There are a few more pictures to be unpacked and hung and the lace curtains are still to be laundered and put up, but aside from those

across top; I am enclosing a handkerchief which belongs to you Mummie. I found it in the pocket of my old coat after moving.

on side: Tomorrow is baby's first birthday.
