February 25, 1964 Dear Elsie, your glad Just a note to say “thank you" for letter of February 2lst. I was indeed to hear from you, as always. We all were sorry to hear of Carrie's accident, and certainly you did the right thing to send her a note and some flowers. She is az the L.D.S. Hospital, as you doubtless know, in Room 280. I called her on the telephone and talked to her, and Ann went down to see her yesterday. She is getting along as well as might be expected, but seems to be very nervous. With love, the long imposed rest which she must to now will be good for her. I hope comes out of it. Thanks Mrs. Elsie B. again!
