Dear Edna and Jess:
A nice little package of cocktail napkins came Wednesday from Hawaii - thank you so much, it was so nice of you to think of us when you were in such a whirl. I expect it is hard to realize now that you were over there it was such a quick trip. No doubt you have lots of wonderful memories.
I suppose you got home alright and that the suppoer went off all right too. I know you both must have been very tired by Sunday evening. It was so good to have you with us even tho it was so short. We haven't heard from the O---. Did your friends the Johnsons contract you? We did enjoy meeting them very much - both are so jolly and such good company.
I washed Monday as I was afraid to put it off for fear it would rain. We have had a few light sprinkles off an on all week.
The holiday gaiety is starting - received two invitations for cocktail parties in the next two weeks. One at the Morrises' (we showed you their house up on the hill not far from Olneys) and one at the Saticoy Country Club.
Has Mama gone to San Diego? Did Arthur and Blanche come?
Hope you both are well - Thanks again for the Aloha napkins. They will come in very handy.
Love to both of you
Mary
Come see us again when you can stay longer.
Love
M.E.C.
This blog is the letters of Chuning family members starting in 1917 when Lynn Chuning was stationed at Palo Alto to undergo training for WWI. See cristihendry.blogspot.com for letters from Edna's mother Sara to Edna and other family members. Aside from a single postcard from Lynn Chuning to his sister, the letters are all written by the women of the family; the letters are the bond that keeps the family together.

Dear Ruth
I am getting to be a shovel expert digging trenches. Sorry to hear that the baby was sick. Hope he is better by this time.
