Dear Ma, and Pa,

I well understand why nobody can come to graduation. I will miss you and Pa. Don’t worry, though. I know you will be thinking of me and the Scotts promise to take plenty photos. I will make sure to send.

Phyllis thinks she can come, so I will have family present. She and I get along pretty well though it is still strange for me. Ma is the mother I grow with, the mother I know and love with all my heart. Also Phyllis is so close to my age. Since her Christmas visit, we talk on the phone and write, so we are getting to know each other better. She says if I want, I can come back to New York with her after graduation and stay there for a while before I begin my studies at University of Michigan. That way, I can meet Daphne and Granny Evadne. Only thing is Granny Evadne is suffering badly with rheumatoid arthritis. If Phyllis has her hands full, I won’t burden her further, so I’m still considering. Of course, if I go, I will help all I can.

Phyllis says I must know I am smart for I’ve done so well at U of T and so many universities have offered me fellowships for graduate work. I think I’m fortunate. If I know to work hard, it’s because you, Pa, and Gramps have given me such good example, so I am saying a big THANK YOU and I promise to keep trying.

How are Pansy and Mortimer and the children? And Edgar? Is he still at Miss Carmen’s? And Stewie, Conrad and Princess? I pray Pa continues strong and the two of you are keeping your pressure under control. Salt beef and pig tail not worth dying for!

I send love and hello for all, esp. Mr. Wong and the Williamses.

Grace
