Dear Doris,

Yes I'll forgive you for not writing us in all this time, but I'll admit I have felt a little hurt about it. If you or Sidney had been ill and having as unpleasant a time as Egbert and I have been having, I'd certainly be very much concerned about it and would have written pretty often.
