Have written you nearly every month. No word from you yet. Two years since last heard from you. Hope you and family well...Mavis's birthday yesterday. Poor child, second birthday in camp. No presents. Had small party of little things we could make in camp. Mavis is seven now and growing tall. Love to you all. We are keeping well and cheerful.
Your loving sister,
