“My heart is too full to write, as I think of the wonderful kindness which prompted you to send it.”
Mrs. Winter. (puzzled). They ain’t usually so thankful.
President. Ladies, please come to order, and let us listen to the letter.
Mrs. Hodges. (continuing). The beautiful dress for my daughter. (aside). She meant that gingham of Clara’s—Where was I—“The clothing for myself which seems far too good for a missionary’s wife—”
Miss Loomis. Somehow that don’t just fit our box.
Mrs. Hodges. (continuing). “The gifts for my son and husband are most thankfully received. Believe me dear friends, I am more than grateful for your kindness.
“Yours very sincerely,
“RUTH M. BROWN.”
Mrs. Winter. Somehow I can’t quite figure that out.
Mrs. Hodges. Ours was a nice box, nice enough, but she didn’t have no call to say quite so much.
Mrs. Banks. (rising). Ladies, I have here a letter from my husband’s sister, Mrs. Worthington, which may throw some light upon Mrs. Brown’s letter. Each Christmas we send a box to Mrs. Worthington, and I have received this acknowledgment for the gifts which we sent this year. (Opens letter.)
