To Bertha from Mary Schubert – (Date is approximate)
350 High Street
Newburyport, Mass.
Oh Bertha – What an adorable hanky. Many thanks – It is too pretty to weep upon but what else can I use it for.
Everything is weary. I was never so in love and he was never so cool. It couldn’t be worse and the whole darn family is in bed and everythin’ – I’m so weepy. Never mind lots of things turn out all for the best though perhaps we may not see it right away.
He kissed me in that dratted taxi – as I never was before. West Point must be one of the happy hunting grounds.
Loads of love and best wish together with a bunch of thanks.
Mary
P.S.
After all the other bosh, I ought to have agreed. Broken hearted or some such thing – but it’s a little too late to wish, don’t you think?
