To Bertha from Alice “Sally” –
June 2, 1926
Charters
Dear Bertha,
Here is a check for you which I managed to get in dollars. They made me explain why I wanted it and lots of other things but finally got it to me. I’d like to write you a decent letter, dear sister, but it is three nights since I have slept a bit and I’ve lost a pillow in the past week. In other words, I’m worn out. I’m sailing on the “_____” tomorrow morning and when I get on the boat and eat a little, I’ll write a nice letter. In the meantime, I’m sending you the European time.
Please excuse this scrawl but the temperature has risen suddenly. I’m sick and I’m tired and the combustion is too much.
Lots of love,
Sally
