[mano 1: [ingl.: Atlanta, March 2nd My precious little sister. Do not think I am angry and have waited in answering your letter just for spite. Like Yourself I plead guilty and ask for mercy and forgiveness. Our lives have been sadly severed dearie and I hardly know where to take up the thread which has been snapped. Ah Lula if your dear old grandma had but come to me when I urged her to all would have been different. Poor dear grandma, she loved us both and when she died we lost one who would have made any sacrifice for us. Your letter was full of interesting news. I was glad to hear that you have such a faithful friend in Erny Arbour. There are so few who are always faithful. I hope you will give my love to Erny and tell her I thank her for being kind to my dear little sister. Lula I hope there is no trouble between you and your husband My dear kind “Buddie” whom we loved in the sweet days gone by. Where is he now and why does he not write sometimes to his “sis”? I should love to see your boys. What fine little]] [mano 2: Atlanta, Marzo 2. Mi preciosa hermanita. No creas que estoy incomodada y que he tardado en contestar tu carta por rencor.
