Dearest Mother:
Well write a few lines this evening
to let you know that I received yesterday your well received letters of
February 26 and of March 2. And as you mentioned
the former is the largest letter ever received from you. I will not endeavor to answer your questions now
other than the flower ones.
The Wastonias I do want you to take
some of as long as they reproduce so rapidly Or think all of you wish. The Fuchsias can all be left behind. The Ivy you can take slips of but take none
from the ground. The cacti of course
would all be nice to take along and repot at some future time. I did not mention the Rhubarb since you I
imagined would take such things.
Also in the mail yesterday I received
a letter from Aunt Dell and a roll
of film from Thelma which I will
have to answer for soon.
Enclosed you will find two sheets of Dutch stamps which the boy at the house
in Holland gave me while there. These are all German printed and as I understand these are the entire set of
those printed. I think these are quite
nice.
The other day while still at my last
station. I had the chance to go to one
of the large mansion nearby and you can well imagine my delight at going
over. In the barn there were some very
beautiful carriages, one in particular was black and all shined with red velvet
cushions and interior and the thing really had good springs for a change. The green box was full of rare plants and the
house had a beautiful solarium full of plants such as azaleas, camillias,
ferns, cyclamen etc. The lace curtains
at the windows were really beautiful as well as everything else in the house.
I have started once again to use the
numbering system on my letters and will continue since I have a system now for
keeping track of it. This one will be No
1 again.
Well all for now and more again.
All my Love
Stanley
