Please don't be just half awake

P.S. May be you had better send kodak pictures to your father's address.

Marie dear -

I received your note dated Nov. 30th and thank you for sending the short letter to let me know that you had received my letter. That was a nice verse in-side the card you sent me and you wrote at the top a Thanksgiving message and thank you very much. Hope you take care of your cards that are sent you Marie.

You asked about Martin. Yes Martin is coming a few days before Christmas.

I think Marie that you are careless about the kodak pictures not to have taken care of them at the time when you wrote. You know I reminded you different times about the kodak. Hope pictures are ready now.

I wrote to Betty last Sunday and I sent a sample of the kind of material I would like the dress to be. I haven't heard from her having written 2 letters to her now since she wrote.

Marie I thought you would sent more money to the storage Co, without my reminding you. I worry about my belongings. How can I help it? Marie in this letter I will write things which concern me and please don't be just half awake. Marie I wish to be dismissed from the hospital when Martin comes. If the hospital people think I should pay some thing I wish that could be arranged. Have you written to Mr. Mullen? I do some work here each day (ward housekeeping tasks). Now please respect my wishes.

Do you remember how that family you worked for when you were going to Mason School would help those in their family. You know they moved to California. I wish you could think back through the years and trp to realize all that work that I did for you and the other members of our family (?). If I had been working and earning money I would be quite independent now. (?) So please pay attention. I wish that we help each other we whoe are the members of this family. I am enclosing a sample of the dress in case you didn't know the kind I like. Black and write checked size 42 or 44. Mother.
