Dear Twinnies1;

You made such unique application of my Christmas checks that I thought another might help you to be brave on Easter—I mean bravely clad, in the old English sense. I make only one check, but each of you is to have five, and I hope you will have a joyous Easter and a mild, warm Spring!

Lovingly, dears W. S. C.
