Dear Miss Hanff:
Please don’t let Frank know i am writing this but every time I send you a bill I’ve been dying to split in a little note and he might not think it quite proper of me. that sounds stuffy and he’s not, he’s quite nice really, very nice in fact, it’s just that he does rather look on you as his private correspondent as all your lettles and parcels are addressed to him. But I just thought i would write to you on my own.
we all love your letters and try to imagine what you must look like.I ve decideed you’re young and very sophisticated and smart-looking.Old Mr.Martin thinks you must be quite studious-looking in spite of your wonderful sense of humor.Why don’t you send us a snapshot?We should love to have it.
If you are curious about Frank, he’s in his late thirties,quite nice looking,married to a very sweet Irish girl,I believe she’s his second wife.
Everyone was so grateful for the parcel.My little oneswere in Heaven-with the raisins and egg I was acturally able to make them a cake.
I do hope you don’t mind my writing.Please don’t mention it when you write to Frank.
with best wishes,
Cecily Farr
