Letter from Cordelia Williams to her children. Cordelia writes that she hopes they had a good vacation in Hampton, she does not specify who "they" are. She is also happy that Geraldine's twin girls met a friend they liked. She said that her plants are not doing very well but her watermelon vine is outgrowing everything else. She wonders if Virginia told them about the increase in real estate tax. She received an invitation to Mary Curtice's daughter's wedding and so did Virginia. She sends love and blessings.
