⬩W⬩S⬩C⬩ My Dear Mary1;

I know the enclosed4, from Mrs. Floyd Dell5 will amuse you. You see even Greenwich Villagers have hearts—where babies are concerned. They6 are so proud of their son7, and Mrs. Dell has actually stopped smoking while she is nursing Anthony! Don't return the letter, as I have answered it.

With love and greetings to you all, Willie.
Mrs. E. A. Creighton1 Red Cloud3 Nebraska NEW YORK, N.Y.2 FEB 5 1922 430 PM
