My dear Daddy,

We have such cold weather here. It looks as if winter has come back again. We have had snow since the spring. We like the views of the Hague. I wish we were there soon.

Bill gave a lecture at school and it was a great success. It was on Newcastle. We are still getting ready to come beside you.

Love,
from Mary to Daddy
