Dear Olivetta, plus your family + friends,

Thanks for all the lovely thotful cards you been sending them.

Really not much writing in me.

Isn't the pansy here darling.

June finally had an all red headed girl. real nice letter.

Bootsie having a wonderful time.

Don loves Teenie much as any now he build her a doghouse.

Just can't write no more --

Love you all
Mother

(I have ANS written on the envelope but no date so I don't know whether my letter to her arrived before she passed away. I left in the original spelling and punctuation. I'm sure it was difficult for her to compose her thoughts by then. I treasure this last letter from her to me.)
