Dear Mary,
I received your letter yesterday so am just dropping this note back to say I am alive and well. But there is no news of any kind here just the same. You had a responsibility on you buying a bike but if anybody that fellow knew anything about bikes you ought to have got a good one for the price. Could you get a rosette for my bonnet – badly needing one You know what it is The black patch under the badge. Tell N.D. I was asking for her. Write soon Dodo
