Dear "Aunt Alice": - 
I want to send just
a line to tell you how greatly
Mamma has enjoyed and appreciated
all those delectable verses, which
have come with such unswerving
faithfulness. It has been mighty 
good of you to remember her every
day in the midst of your rush of
work and we all appreciate it.
She has looked forward with
much interest and curiosity every
day, to see what you could have
found next! And we have held a 
family conclave and decided that
your wit has an inexhaustible source.
Mamma sends love and
was sorry not to get you yesterday
on the 'phone.
Ever yours,
Amy.

Dear Aunt Alice,
It was certainly just like your
thoughtfulness to send me that nice little note,
with the message from dear Agnes Jones. It is
long since I have heard from her ---- not, I believe,
since she sent me a picture of Ethel with the new
little Sammy, a lovely madonna-like thing. So it
interested me especially to think that she was
sharing P-Penny with him. The printer or publisher
made a mistake in putting the age "8 to 12" on the
jacket, for the story is obviously for children
from six to eight or nine.
And now I want to tell you how
interested and delighted we were to read in the paper
a few days ago about the honor that came to you
so deservedly. They did honor to themselves in
recognizing all that you have done through so many 
years. We were so happy too to read the editorial.
Congratulations from us both. Your life has truly
been a long succession of good works. Seymour has
spoken many times of his pleasant glimpse of you last
summer at Martha's Vineyard, and of how he found you
ministering so devotedly to your poor old cousin.
What he had to say sounded so exactly like your
never-failing kindness, which is as much a part

of you as your public service. Old friends do not 
forget.
With the best of spring time wishes,
Ever affectionately,
Amy
Your letter was dated May 3. That was
Mabel's birthday, you know. Somebody spoke the other
day of having recently seen Henry Mussey, and of 
his having said that he had such a wonderful little
daughter-in-law. He said that June had gotten into the
publishing business --- with no capital --- and
was making a success of it.

Dear Aunt Alice,
Indeed it is good 
of you to send me Easter greetings,
and a pleasant word about my 
little P-Penny, and I do
appreciate it. There never
was anybody so thoughtful as
you about remembering people
any way. I shall never forget
all your kindness to MammaI could speak to you - and was
glad to see you looking so well. I
wish I saw you oftener, but I have
no car, and I find that calls on
out-of-town friends somehow do not
get made. We are well here, and
my girls are pretty well grown up
- twenty three and sixteen.
I saw Virginia Shamlian 
a while ago. She seemed very
prosperous, with an elegant car and
all the parts! Queer world!
With all good wishesin those last hard years of
her life, and all the happiness
your clever, daily little rhymes
brought to her. I have them
still upstairs in a treasure
trunk, and when I read
them over I still marvel
at you.
I am sorry that
you have been having trouble
with your eyes, and hope
it will prove quite temporary.
I saw you not long ago on
the street - though not sofor your springtime.
Always affectionately

Dear Aunt Alice:
Did you really think that was I in that picture, or were you just joking?  It is Gertrude, my sixteen-year-old, not your old-time, long-ago Chaperon who stands at Seymour's left, with our nine-year-old Jean on his right.  Don't let the yearsfly by, though? If you should
see me I am sure you would
were mistake me for sixteen!

I do hope that you 
are quite well, and that 1928
holds many good things for 
you. I wish we might go to
another Armenian wedding together!
Stella's stunning brother Jame 
ought to be married by this
time.

Affectionately yours.

Dear Aunt Alice:
 Thank you so much 
for the pretty springtime card,
so suggestive of the happy long
ago days at Brichbay. I wonder if
all the old campers bear with them
such a vivid memory of those
summers as I do. I cannot get a
whiff of cedar tree anywhere,
without its all rushing back -
the sight of sunsets over Gibraltar,
the sound of the water lapping
against the stones of the "Library"
while we sat at "church", the smellBreshkovsky. I had wondered of late what had
become of her, and it is wonderful to find her
still vigorous enough to carry on such a splendid 
work.  I wish I could afford to send her more
than my best wishes. In the march of events
in Russia she has come to seem like quite
a conservative!
Hope that you have a had a good
winter, and have kept well.
Ever faithfully yours.

an oil stove in the freshness of
early morning! Nor does this
mean that I do not remember
the people with equal pleasure and
vividness!
Your card of greeting was
specially appreciated as I have
been more or less of a "shut-in"
since January, with a rather horrid
thyroid trouble. But hospital and
operation hour set me right, and 
I am once more on the road
 to good health - which a 
chaperon in these days so much
needs!
