We have been very busy the last few weeks enlarging Leica pictures and seeing people, but we are certainly looking forward to getting back to Banff. I guess the time goes much faster for us than for anyone else, and I even think of “last winter” as the one skiing, and Honolulu as part of the summer. We were awfully glad to hear from you Papa, and will answer the letter soon. Loads of love,Catharine

The drawing is enclosed in a rectangular hand-drawn frame. In TL edge, there is an orange vertical mark, and a grey vertical mark.
