Dear Anne, I send you a pair of the [homeliest?] mittens you ever saw. Mrs. Brown told me they were very stylish etc. and gave me a book ^of patterns to knit them from I was so disgusted with them that I took no comfort in knitting them. They will keep your hands warm a spell I guess & then I will knit you some others. Mary Kate wants me to knit a pair for her and wants light blue & pink. knit like your old ones which I think are the warmest & the prettiest ones I have seen. I must knit
