How thoughtful in you, my dear Trix1, to send me a lot of real, old fashioned home made candy! I haven't had any for years, and I have enjoyed it so.
I had a wonderful Christmas and many remembrances, but I am late in thanking
my friends because I have been terribly busy. A young man came over from
London to urge me to do do a rather special piece
of work3 for my English
publisher,4 and I have been hard at it. Just now my right hand has
gone back on me (the hand that was hurt five years ago)5 and I will have to rest it for a week or
two.
A Happy New Year to you and yours, dear friend of many years!
Willa Mrs. Sidney Florance1
