Lima February 26, 1973

Hi Mary Virginia:
     HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU. Hope you will have a very nice birthday with all the family.  I remember last year when I was with you and we went to L&K to eat dinner.  It was really a good time.  I am looking forward to see you next summer at Peru.  I missed to tell you that I received for Christmas a big teddy-bear that I have it on my desk bed. 

How is school?  Are you studying all your lessons?

It might be very cold up there.  We are now in summer, is nice here is a little hot maybe.  Everybody is going to the beach.

Many regards to all the nice people of New Vienna.

Mary Virginia when you have a little of time, please write me a little note.  I will like so much to hear from you.

Love, Grace
