Dear Mrs. Thompson; 1 correspond
ed with a boy for two years and then
We stopped. For over two months
have not heard from him at all and
before that time we wrote about once
or twice month. The boy and 1 were
just good friends and nothing more.
When he moved away from this town
he was very lonely and my letters
seemed to cheer him up OF course
he is well acquainted now and does
not need them any more. Do you
think it would be all right for me to
send him a Christmas card this year,
although he owes me a letter? I'm
derstand we were never sweethearts-
just neighbors. BETTY.
In your case it will be all right to
send the card.
