I hope you can make some sense out of it and get a story out of it. There are a lot of mistakes, so see what you can do with it. Use the pictures I sent you and I think we will have a fine journal this time. By the way Treva, can you find a place to make Xmas cards with my picture on them? About 50 is all I need to send to the D. J.’s. If you need any more information, write and let me know.” Accompanied by the original mailing envelope.
