May 5 Dearest Mother. Could you please send me a bit of lace like the enclosed to renovate a muslin gown. This is exactly the quantity I want and it must be very good otherwise it washes to a rag. This was very good but you see how it is worn out. I think this kind is best.
Thank you so much for your letter of April 22, just received. How thrilling about the broadcasting.

No you hadn't told me about Miss Berthe - I shed a tear or try to. Your very loving daughter Gertrude.
