In a minute Mother. I’m up to my neck in these blank thank you notes
O-m-m-e-l-e-t
I thought there was another. “L”
The omelet dish from the-
You said it was an omelet dish
It might be for fish
Fish dish? That sounds idiotic
It might be for fish
Fish dish? That sounds idiotic
I should simply say thank you so much for your lovely silver dish
Here’s the tag “Old Dutch Muffin Ear circa 1810” -What the - I am simply enchanted with your Old Dutch Muffin Ear- with which my husband and I will certainly hear any muffin coming from a mile away.
Don’t you think you’ve done enough notes for one day?
Don’t disturb me. From cousin Horace Malcomber (Maycomer) one pair of gameshears looking like hell
What did he send the other time?
No one to speak of sent anything the “other time”

What are we expected to do when he treats you-
Did you hear me Tracy?

Is he handsome , or is he not?
George is handsome
