Dear Jessie and Charlie: The two of you have a remarkably unique ability to choose gifts that delight Mamie and me. The handsome rocking chair that you sent me not only fits perfectly into a spot on the second floor that has long needed a comfortable chair, but it is fast becoming my favorite place to sit for a quiet chat morning and evening with Mamie.1 My thanks for your thoughtfulness seem entirely inadequate, but are all I am able to muster at the moment.
I hope that you have a wonderful holiday season with those nice grandchildren.
With warm regard, Sincerely
