Dear Den,
Thanks for your letter of the 2nd, and as I am making the most of the last day, thought I would just send a card. I am anxious to hear your record as all we can hear when we go out is South of the Border or something like that. We didn’t have a storm, but yesterday cont’d above
it rained almost all day. Cheerio till Saturday,
Love,
Madge.
