The postcard letter:

Loving thanks for your dear letter, just received; glad that you are feeling well, thoughts much with you. — Xana came here with the children for a week. — It is cold & windy so they could only drive in a brougham. Our bazaar is on 23, 24, 25, 26. I am working & painting hard for it. Fondest love, your old frie[n]d A.
