Dearest Trudy
I came in last night after going to Church & found as a reward your dear card & these wonderful chocolate things—I never saw such marvelous creations & so good—
If you & your sons don’t stop tempting me with such delicious things I will be like the fat lady in the Side Show—but you are a dear to think of it—and I love your thought.
You don’t know how much better Cary looks since he got a few more million red corpuscles He is like a 2 year old—and I am so glad—
I love to think you will be home when we return from our tour—for it seems ages since I saw you—and there are such thousands of things to talk about. Old Judge Dean has just sent me a note to know if we would lunch with him in Kansas City—& “bring Adml Grayson, for since he married Miss Gordon he must be a fine man, otherwise he would not have gotten her”—how is that for Oliver?
I am so busy this has to be a note—but it brings you all my love & a kiss all round——
“Miss Ede.”
