Dearest Lily,

     Last evening when Ethel came in I asked her to call Dr. Bell, and I am 
very thankful for the cheering news he gave us about you, darling! He said you 
had no temperature, and that you had been sitting up! Wonderful!

     We have been having spring weather for some days, but last night the 
weather turned cold again, and the wind is HIGH! Whew! It's a very good day to 
stay indoors! Before Ethel left for school she said, "You stay in, out of this 
wind."

     Mrs. Riley who lives across the street from us, has hardening of the 
arteries to such an extent that someone must stay with her. Mrs. Haynes is with 
her now. Mrs. Haynes told me that she has lived in Falfurrias for 33 years. We 
walked around our block last evening, but I think we will not do that today.

     I think only one branch of Ethel's "bird of Paradise" is alive. The rest 
was frozen. My sweet peas stood the freezes of winter time but there are no 
blooms yet.

     On my place card at the dinner Ethel gave last week, was a picture of a 
cunning little girl with a wheelbarrow full of shamrocks. These were the lines 
on the card:

"Faith, and 'tis the shamrock 

Brings the Irish luck, you know,

So this ought to keep you lucky

For a hundred years or so."

     Ethel and I both send you our hearts' love, and wishes for a hundred years 
of good luck.

Devotedly

Oma
