User-Contributed Transcription Mrs. May Walden 420 West Bell Street, Box 853 Avon Park, Fla. March 10, 1943 Darling Tafern: I'm awful sorry to have given you so much grief over criticizing your stretched neck! Don't worry over it my dear - have Mr. F. take another and hold your head naturally, and the picture will be fine. I suppose relatives take advantage of their relationship and are brutally frank, when instead they should practice a little finesse, or whatever it is that properly behaved relatives do. But you are a darling girl under any and all circumstances, and I'm proud that you have preserved your youthful figure. No one who has seen your big photograph will believe that you are a grandmother. "O, she's beautiful!" they all say. So be comforted Dearie. I had Mrs. Gilbert's basket packed before I got your letter. I got up on the step ladder, and used my long bamboo pole with an iron hook, to get the branches down so I could pick enough. The best ones are too high for me to get, but as soon as I can persuade Junior Mills
