Some woman died, have a great holiday!!!!!

The following is a letter I found in a book I purchased in a second hand bookshop in Washington D.C. a few years ago. (The book was The Forest by Edward Rutherfurd which is entirely irrelevant).

The text of the letter is as follows:

December 29, 2002

Dear Marilyn,

Hope you had a good Christmas. We had both Leila and David here; fortunately both came on Christmas Eve before the big snows on Christmas.

Thanks for the cute little doll, soap and David's C.P. I know we will enjoy all of them.

Leila has a part in an off Broadway play in New York starting in the middle of January. I just hope it goes and runs for a while so she'll get paid for a couple of months or so.

David goes back today to Syracuse. He is chief archeologist at Fort Drum; I hope that lasts for a while too.

Marjorie June Jones Landau died in New York in November. She was an alcoholic, and it was a very sad affair.

Hope you have a good trip to Cuba.

Take care, happy new year,

Jane
