Letter From Alma Wurdemann To Her Nephews Dated Approx July 1913

My dear Little Joy & Gloom,

I am sending each of you a little present and I hope you shall like it very much. You see, your Grandma & Aunt Alma are very lonely since leaving you. We are now in our own home and should like most dearly if you were here too. I am sure that all of us should have great fun. I hope that papa and mama & you two will come down on the steamer with Mr Noble to see us. We should be very glad to see you. Hoping you are both good boys. With the very best love from Grandma & Aunt Alma
