Dear Paul:
Apr. 25, 1952
The weather says we are in for a rainy day today; it has been bad Wednesday & Thursday. But we are to have nice weather over the weekend.
I went to Aunt Catherine's yesterday to spend the day. When it gets nice I will be busy cleaning house.
We will try to come out to see you May 11 if we can. I will know better later. I think it is First Communion Sunday, but we don't have any that will have to be there. I don't think Carly will renew. Love, Mom.
