Dear Mrs. Blake,

Thank you very much for your gift of the Readers digest. I enjoy them very much, and I treasure every word that comes from you.

This year I have been unable to keep up with Christmas, I'm slower than formerly, and tire easily. Today all my brother's children and their families were here. It was exciting. Their were about 19 children and parents. You can imagine the excitement and turmoil, but it was fun.

My Christmas gift to you and to others will be late. I just couldn't make it in time. I never want to lose you or Doris.

It now is 7:40 P.M
