Dear Iovanna, 

Herewith a copy of a little letter Pat sent off to his friends. They are a perfectly darling couple and will you call them if you can, because I'm sure they will be eager to hear from you and you will enjoy knowing them. Also, copy of my letter to Bill Ewing. He is a charming guy, as your mother will testify, and I know he'd like to know you.

I haven't seen Mrs. Dagmar Cook for years, but I'm sending a little note to you to present to her. You can look up her address in the telephone book. She's an awfully nice woman. Perhaps your mother met her. I understand Mrs. Spalding has been desperately ill and 
there is no point in sending a letter to her, but she is the one who gave the Academy of Arts to Honolulu and I think it's quite a handsome little building with certainly interesting things. But the part you'd love the most is the Polynesian collection at Poonahoa College. I hope that you have a chance to see the carpets and the ancient feather coats and all. They are very beautiful.

On second look at my notes, I find that your mother did give me an address but I'm not sure of it. It sounds like care of Mrs. Stevens and I'm not at all sure of the address, so I hope they will forward this letter to you post haste, as I'm sure they will.

Have a marvelous rest and a wonderful time and don't worry about Eve. No child has ever been surrounded by such love and devotion as that little girl and she will grow up with a light in her eyes.
