Robinson, Lois Augusta

A letter from Lois to her parents, Donald and Elsie, thanking them for Elsie's letter, describing the persistent bouts of sickness that all the children seem to be suffering, theorizing that the dampness of the house might be contributing to Steed's persistent illness in particular, mentioning that they went to celebrate the birthday of one of the Milk family children, listing her and Esther's measurements and the types of clothes that each of the family is in need of, outlining the family's travel itinerary for November and December, sharing that she is starting to work more in the clinic again, mentioning that Morrell will be preaching in Tallahassee while the family is in Florida, and sending her well wishes to family friends who have recently had health issues.
