The heet doesn’t do too much good – guess I’ll never learn. Camp is Bigger than ever Stuart goes out every day and so do

Dear Mother, Lillian and Bertrell:
Dianne is in bed and now I want to get a letter off to you.
Everything went very well on the trip home, even though we did make a dramatic entrance into the train. The porter was very nice and helped us with our things.

I mail these to Lillian's office - I'm not sure about Mary's being at Hertel Art.
Dear Family -
Well how are you all feeling after the Holidays? I imagine you are all exhausted from sending presents to relatives! The second Christmas on Thursday was as exciting as the first when the last 2 big boxes arrived. The children are just thrilled with everything. We had our presents on Christmas Eve, as usual, except the things from Santa. Cheryl doesn't really believe in Santa and yet she seems real sincere in thinking he's coming
