I can't tell you how much joy it would give us all to see and hear you & Ludlow with your dear John! Won't you say we may thus announce you and trust you will make a desperate effort to come!!

But if you cannot do this - do write a brief word of good cheer to the few left - this side and enclose your mite to help us financially;

Lovingly yours
