291 Fifth Ave., New York.

January 17, 1917.

My dear Mrs. Boyle:

The holiday week and some days after were unusually dark for me. That is why you have not heard before. During that time one of the few rays of real light was the receipt of those four pictures from you with Christmas greetings. I cannot tell you how pleased I was at the moment, and what is more how pleased I am to have the photographs. I am much interested in these girls of your's. They mean something in my life. So the photographs have a significance. What young women they have really become. Two so different. Like night and day. They must keep you young. Just to watch they unfold. I was very glad to see you that day when you came to 291. I know you have understood my silence.

With heartiest greetings
