"JUST IT" - "Looks like my new country "feller"- 10-29-1907. Dear Helena; Thanks for the postal; it is very cute. Tell Helen R. I have fallen in love with her photograph. I am going to give a Halloween Party for my "children" tomorrow night. Am expecting a letter. Lovingly, Mary."
"I'M PUFFING YOU UP" - "I truly am and so are others of your friends. I'm afraid you need me to keep down the swelling of your "Cocoanut" - Thanks ever so much for the Halloween Surprise, for it certainly was a very sweet one. Will write tonight looking for a letter from you. Mary."
