Dear Anna:
My sister has the same name. We are three widow sisters together; the others' names are Ruth and Helen. I was born in 1901.
We live together in a flat at 1445 North Leives Place. We have nice sunny weather here today. We go about our housework in different homes.
Write a few cards today.
Love,
Gerda S.
