In the handwritten letter (a), Willik expresses her gratitude for receiving a New Year's greeting card from Temples, refers to them as "old friends," and insists that they should see each other in the near future. Willik invites the Temples to her household, suggesting that Mr. Temple (Walter P. Temple) should bring her the next time he travels to their ranch.

Willik closes by reminiscing about "Lommy" hitting croquet balls as a child. With creases, minor acid burns, and minor foxing, the letter is in good condition overall.
