My dear Lucy,-I received the package and card to-night. Many, many thanks for same. I suppose now I am independent but I really feel far less so than a year ago, or even two years ago because I am not away working for myself.
You were so kind to remember my birthday when there must be so many things for you to think about. I'll not write a long letter because you say you'll soon be home. I hope you'll find time to come over for a chat. Thanking you again, I am,
Lovingly yours -
