1940 Highly Relatable Letter from a Friend Who Just Could Not Make it to the Hospital for a Visit and Feels Just Terrible

Descripción

On offer is a sweet letter written to Mrs. Daisy (Ball) Bailey (1897-1964) of Dalton, Pennsylvania from her friend Flora who lives in nearby Factoryville, PA. The letter was written on May 12, 1940 and addressed to Daisy at home in Dalton, although at the time of writing, Daisy was hospitalized, having undergone surgery. The letter is four pages (one single page folded in half with writing on four sides). Throughout the entire letter, Flora provides Daisy with multiple reasons (possibly excuses…) as to why she was unable to come to the hospital to visit her. Flora s reasons include: she was packing, she was busy serving her husband s colleagues meals, Daisy s husband never told her the visiting hours at the hospital, and that she got lost on the way to the hospital. She then sends Daisy endless good wishes, including a wish that Daisy would come and stay with her soon. While it was written over 80 years ago, it will ring very true to any modern person who is trying and failing to do it all. This letter would be a great reminder that we are all doing our best and would look perfect framed in the office of a busy and hard-working 21st century person. The letter is written in pencil and is very legible. Paper shows some signs of age toning and folds are visible. No rips or tears. The envelope is present but the stamp has been cut out. Overall G+. ; Letters; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 4 pages; Signed by Author. N° de ref. del artículo 0012042
