Dear Clara,
I received your postal card.
Mama wants me to tell you
that she was anxious
to know how you are,
and said that she
wished she were down
there as she declared
she'd have her visit out.
I haven't any posies.
Hudson, so
you will
be safe in sending
most anything.
Hoping to hear from you soon.
