Dear Mary!!
X is our word.
Mother and I have been there for a week but leave for home today.
We have been having a lovely restful holiday. Mother looks better than she has for ages.
I feel just fine too. We leave here about 4:15 today and apart from a few hours in Philadelphia, are on the train till 12:30 tomorrow.
Surf bathing is lovely. Love, Agnes.
