Dearest Tom & Penny,

Thank you so very much for the lovely handkerchefs and beautiful case. It is so lovely and so useful. I have trouble with my feet, so do not walk, go in a wheel chair and a little walker. Will write you a longer letter, soon, and hope to hear from you maybe that you will be coming out to California and to see your brother and his family, and Rankin & Lida. Thanking you again. Very lovingly - Aunt Louise.
