Just took Stella the Piccalilli, she says many thanks & she will write as soon as she can, her Ma is at her house about to pass away. Papa is feeling O.K. Have had a bad headache all day – Will write you a long letter Monday. Many thanks for everything. All from me with love and kisses for a Happy New Year – Lill. I received the locket last night & think it is beautiful. Also the ribbon from Carolyn. Many thanks to the little darling for it.’ The card is addressed to Mrs. John W.
