My Dearest Darlings,
We arrived home about six o'clock yesterday (Sunday) morning. The boys got so sleepy we just stopped and left. We were really tired when we did get here. Mother seemed in better condition than any of us.
The doll has not arrived yet. Please get Mrs. Hudson word. When was it suppose to have been mailed? I sure hope it has not gotten lost. Whom did you give it to?
