This personal letter from a young woman to her friends contains elegantly expressed delight upon hearing from mutual acquaintances, her hopes for a future visit, and news of her upcoming move. Especially touching is an accompanying drawing of women gently rocking a child before a fireplace, capturing the warmth and intimacy of friendship and home.
