Dear Mina, I am leaving for home after a trip through Florida. It is a wonderful place to be so nice and warm. I think of you quite often. I miss not hearing from you too. I would stop to visit you but I think I better wait till next summer. I am wishing you all a joyful Christmas and a very happy New Year. Marie 120 Park Rd. Burlington, Calif.Language
