Dearest Kay:
It was so very kind of you to think about
me and send me your beautiful Christmas present in the
way of the CARE box. I do appreciate every single bit of
it and most of all the spirit of friendship in which it
was given.
I have been expenting eagerrly your visit to
Prague and was very sorry to learn about your leaving
Nürenberg as I knew that there was not much hope of seeing
you so soon again. It is such a pity that beeing so near
Prague you could not get here and it shows how busy you
must have been with all your work all the time. Many
Americans come to Prague now and most particularly those
whose jobs are in Berlin or other German cities. They find
it a relief to come to a city with all panes in the windows
and a good deal to see in the shops although not all the
goods you see are actually for sale always. The conditions
here are improving with every day to come but it will take
a long time to reach the prewar stndarts if ever we will
get as far.
I shall not be telling you much about myself.
After the loss of our only son last year we do not find
life very easy but we keep on hoping that we may be at
least useful if we cannot be happy. We have the work and
the happy memories of our dear boy and also our friends who
help us to get on. That is also why I thank you most sin-
cerely for your kind thought of me - it is a real comfort
to know that even so far away there is a friend who gives
his helpful hand.
If it is not asking too much I should very
much like to hear about you - I have read your letter in the
fall issue of the Vassar Magazine but it only prompted my
eagerness to know more. I remember with pleasure the
Christmas Dinner with you in Poughkeepsie, your brother and
sister and Professor Fite, our visit to Frany Oakford in
on
Philadelphia and finally ypur trying my mother's costumes
20 years ago in Prague.
Let me thank you again, dear Kay, for ypur
kind gift and your friendship which even the long years
of separation did not eraze.
Looking still forward to your belated visit
to Prague, I am with all good wishes
lovingly yours
