Mother dearest,
Such a wonderful trunkful of things! It did not come until after dinner last night, and I was blue and discouraged. But all the lovely things! They are too many to properly appreciate all at once. Everything fits: From the darling little [k...ious?] to the [ecru?] and blue dress. I am
