course I would have liked for it to have come sooner but I am ever so grateful that it came at all—especially when I know that so many wives never learn to accept their “girls”!

I had a perfectly wonderful Xmas. That's the only way to describe it. - gave me a gorgeous pale blue nylon-satin nightie trimmed in egg- shell-colored lace; a dusty rose evening blouse; the material and a pattern for me to make myself a multi-colored crushed velvet evening skirt (of course, I sew!) to wear with the blouse; three pretty, Jacy handkies; and a lovely long, ruffly-hemmed evening slip for my new skirt. It was the very best Xmas I have ever had as I'm sure you have already guessed.

Since it's only the two of us gals, it's not all that important. I'm sure it will come in time so I'll be patient until I can speak continually in my femme voice whenever she is around.

I've rambled on for longer than you probably have the time to read. I just wanted you to know that love and patience can pay off. I'll admit that a lot of years love has been "wasted" in the process but the result is so beautiful that I just know I haven't described it nearly well enough.
