Dearest little Girl
I am so happy you are coming next week—and wish it were possible for you to stay right on until the wedding—Bless your heart there are thousands of things I want to talk about and the only thing for it is for you to come & stay (don’t let Aunt Buna read this)—
Cary is so happy that he looks ten pounds fatter—We are going to Philadelphia at noon to see Jessie—coming back at 8:30—Ury is here for my test sitting—and thousands of things to do—I wanted to send you some flowers for Easter—but Hoover has just told me Margaret had asked him to send them for her so you will have to take the wish this time Dearest—and know that I am wishing for your happiness and every good thing—Let me know when to expect you—and know that I will welcome you with open arms
“Miss Ede”
