Dear Sidney + Doris -
Think I told you that I would write to you once in a while but I am rather delinquent when it comes to letter writing.

our things. She couldn't have put it in for the package didn't look as if it had been opened. It is too bad. We had one given to us when the boys were little and they are fine.
About all the real news here this winter have been casualties & fatalities. I never remember so many of them one after another. Ralph said poor George Curtis passed out yesterday. Bertha's Aunt Ellen Henry is very low, a great sufferer and Bertha she has not been to Raleigh this winter.  She thinks that Charlie may have a suite of rooms in Washington and she can come and go whenever she likes.  She will be left alone when Aunt Ellen is gone.  May will soon be here and then we shall see you all.  Ralph thinks Grandma holds her own and seems quite contented.  There is a whole lot going on there and she seems to like it. Wonderful that it is so.
Love to you all from Maude
