Transciption
Addressed to Mrs. Bill Reid, 30 Webber Ave. Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. Dear Ethelwyn & All: We are soon completing our trip. With the exception of T.W.T.F. of last week - the boat has had considerable motion & I have had no ambition to do anything but rest, when not running after David. The weather has been remarkably mild. We have good food - rather heavy - hard to feed David. Interesting Christmas - lots of children to make whoopee. Hope you had a good Christmas. Affectionately, Isabelle.
