Dear Mrs Lothrop,

Ever so pleased to receive your latter. Sorry to hear J will not be back in the [?] work but you will certainly have more and better help.

How did you find Julia - well? I support she was not pleased to see you just about the happiest child on earth and you too. Give her my love please.

Bel is having a glorious time feeling fine and last we hard from here she was "seeing London" and few other places. She had a lovely ocean trip. Was not seasick but rather dizzy - sounds as if she was a little sea sick?? Lovingly Helen Mc.
