I have been hoping ever since Christmas (when I usually send you the little yearly present from myself & friend)
to have been able to do the same this year, but I am afraid I cannot, for I have been trying to change my way of life
this year & earn my living differently to what I have done till now, and have not hitherto succeeded conspicuously.
So I must content myself with sending the
contribution of my friend, increased somewhat by help from two others.
Please remember me kindly to Mrs. Davis.
