Letter, Catherine S. Tone to Katharine S Tone, Sep 20 1912
Bergen, Sep 20-- 12
My dear little Katherine
When I rec'd your Papa's letter Tuesday morning, I had to read it over two or three times. I was so surprised. I said to myself, what a brave little girl, how glad I am, it has been done. Precious child we are all so glad for you, most of all, and trust in coming years you can see why. I hope you are getting along real good, and feeling quite yourself. A little better each day.
Did you see Paul Carpenter when you were at Grandma's, he lives in the house next to Viola's. He may have been away when you were here. Viola plays with him a good deal. He had the same trouble you had, and is just getting over the operation. I walked up from down town with his grandma day before yesterday. She was coming up to see him. I wished I might walk on to see you. Well! We had a good visit when you were over here, didn't we? Did you get pretty tired before you reached Pittsburgh! It was a pretty long day at grandma's no little feet jumping around or the sound of a merry laugh. I rec'd a letter from Aunt Florence Tuesday saying she was coming with the children to see me next week. I wish you might be here too. You would make the house ring with fun and frolic wouldn't you! I must say good night. It's getting late. I meant to write you before but have been pretty busy, day in and day out. With best love to all the dear ones,
Very lovingly, Grandma
Notes:
- The envelope is addressed to Katharine in "Canonsburgh, Pa. R. F. D.", which may mean Van Emman as discussed in notes on 📄 Letter, Sumner LaRue Tone to Blanche Torrence Tone, Jun 8 1915.
- Katharine would have been seven years and about 10 months old at the time, so possibly the operation mentioned was a tonsillectomy.
