Scope and Contents

Elizabeth writes that Becca will come if really needed, but the trip is too expensive for pleasure, nor can Elizabeth afford to visit herself. Mr. Fowler's failure caused a loss of $20,000 by Mrs. Pront, his sister. Family members may also have money with him. She mentions that Liz is giving out a Miraculous Medal and is too wrapped up in the Catholic Church. Friends send gifts of fruit tree and garden supplies.
