Woodlyn, Pa

Dear Mother:-

You have written to all the family but not one have found to answer. I am simply taking the time this morning before I begin my work. We are all well and glad that the warm weather has come at last for none of us enjoyed the winter very much all had colds one after the other while the winter lasted.

We are glad to know that Aunt Lizzie is still so well. The children were all anxious to hear about Dora and the golf-- if she won the cup. I had a small luncheon last week and used my daylilies for the first time. The table looked beautiful and everything went fine. I have no maid yet but we have a colored girl come twice a week and clean for me so get along fine without. 

Jack and I went in to hear Melba sing and saw Mrs. Austin and Horace there, and also saw them at a concert at the church Aunt Madge and cousin Charlie attend. Aunt Madge and I went out to Oak Lane and had lunch with Mrs. Austin and Mrs. Roberts in the early winter we spent a very pleasant afternoon.

The children are all downstairs and want their breakfast so I must stop. They all join me in love to yourself and the folks.

Lovingly,

Alice (daughter-in-law of Mrs. Hay)

I did not mail this for I thought Jack (son of Mrs. Hay) would have time to write on this side, he is repairing the auto and has been very busy. 

When do you expect to come home (Johnstown)? And you know we want a visit on your way home. Had a card from Aunt Madge today she is going to Washington for a visit this week.
