Transcription

Hello Florence. What do you think has happened. I am so slow about answering your card. I am sure you must feel quite proud now that you are aunt. How is the little baby? Were you very much afraid during the cyclone? You were like us fortunate not to get much of it. With love Paula Would you enjoy a cruise on one of these? From Paula Ans. very soon.
