"From Pattie to Addie." Well, that
made US smile, and Miss Addie she
smiled, too. We know that there is
much more than the sentiment of the
season behind the gift and Miss Pattie
has our lasting gratitude for all of it,
as well as Miss Adde'S unbounded love,
which she has always enjoyed. Thank
you, ma'am, thank you.
