64 Thirteenth St.,
Lowell, Jan 3. 07Dear Miss Carrie:
You must think I am very neglectful not answering your kind letter from Brookline, but the time passed so quickly & we have been having quite a little sickness last week that I really could not realize that it is 1907.
It is too bad Mary is ill but I hope she may be better, & how fortunate you are to be so well now. I shall be very glad to see you and Mary when convenient for you to come.
Wishing you all a very Happy New Year
I remain
very sincerely
(Mrs) M. J. Puffer
