However, that this will materialize next year, I hope…thank you so much for those cards, especially the one with the large strawberries. Yum! Yum! Yum! But I am told you must not eat bread and butter at the same time you eat the strawberries, but each must be eaten alone…We went in town to see Lew Telengen [sic], Farrar’s husband. He is indeed highclass [sic] in appearance and a very good actor. Then we saw Charlie Chaplin in ‘Easy Street.’ I tell you it was anything but easy what he did and the rest of the company. Splendid for fun.” In fine condition, with a few mild areas of soiling and damp staining. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
