I Would Like Some Blue Cotton Thread

Dear Marie -

This is Sunday afternoon and I may write. Being I haven't heard from you I wondered why you have not written to me for some time now. I have been expecting to hear from you because it was your turn Marie. It was nice of you to send me the 4 pieces of clothing and candy and thank you very much. Thank your children for those little drawings also.

Have you heard from Lottie recently? I sent her an apron I had made and I have not heard if she received it. Would you kindly send her a card and remind her to write and let me know about the apron?

Marie you don't need to send me any clothes as I think I have about what I need. If you don't mind could you send me some money as a Christmas present? Perhaps my money has been spent which I had when I came here. I would appreciate it very much if you could send it real soon. I would like some blue cotton thread and I will enclose a sample and hope it isn't asking too much.

I hope I can send you something for Christmas this year but I don't know. I hope I may talk to the Dr. and get some information.

I am looking forward toward seeing your father some Wednesday. I wrote to Martin 2 weeks ago to-day and it is his turn to write.

Now I think I will need 4 balls of the kind of sample I am enclosing. On the inside it was marked and I will write it down so you will have something more to go by,

Pearl cotton

This is in order on the paper as I have written it and be sure and get the same shade. Now if you can I wish you would sent it real soon and hope I can depend on you. I am sending this air mail thanks to you for the stamps you sent me some time ago. Please don't send me any Christmas greeting card this year. You may send me some candy when you send the blue cotton instead of greeting card. Thanking you Marie in advance.

Best wishes to you and family.

From,

Mother.
