Hello Aunty Gilbert!
You had ought to have been here today. I made home candy and it was good too! If I do have to say it my self - your time must be pretty well occupied that can't send a postal once in a while, but course if you were in Stafford Springs I would understand all about it. (ahem!) Take good care of your self. But don't do anything rash. Lots of love, name (unidentified).
