My best love to both of [you] and to the children when you see them and when you write —

Kate sends her love — Please don’t come to Wilmington without letting me know — I do want so much to see both of you from time to time —

Affectionately,

Julia

Feb. 10, 1945

AI Notes

Final sheet of Julia’s letter of Feb. 10, 1945. Closing greetings to recipient and the children, love from Kate, and an entreaty not to come to Wilmington without letting Julia know. Signed ‘Affectionately, Julia’. The date is written separately at the foot of the page, lower left.

On line 2, Julia inserted “you” with a caret between “and” and “to”, apparently to repair the dropped word at the end of line 1; the consolidated reading restores it in brackets at its grammatical home.
