Dear Mother,
We went to Del Monte today with Mrs. O. and family. Had a good time. Do wish you could be with us - and Dude too. {unintelligible} coming do you suppose? If she can get off I can come home earlier, then take the rest of vacation elsewhere. We haven't seen M. yet but will tomorrow. I mean Hen hasn't. Has D. finished that embroidery yet? She ought to as soon as possible. M. said she was going to write but hadn't gotten around to it. Love to each from us both. - Lovingly Margaret. -Language
