One of our employees, Mrs. Nannie Barham, was very thoughtful when she made an apron for Mrs. Irene De Hart, who’s in the sanatorium, for Val entine Day. The bib of the apron was made of a large heart. The apron con sisted of tiny red hearts and anyone who chose could put a small amount of money and a little note under one of the patch hearts. Since then she has received the following letter from Mrs. DeHart, who is a former employee of the Woolen Mill. Dear Nannie: I could not begin to tell you how thrilled I was over the Valentine, and who would not be thrilled over such a nice gift? Our supervising nurse took the apron, before I started working on it, and showed it to just about every one in this ward. She thought it was the cutest idea anyone ever though of. I did not take the patches off. I just took loose enough stitches to slip the money and notes out. There was $22.39. I just think you all are a wonderful bunch of people and I thank God for every one of you. Just to know you are thinking of me means very, very much. I wish I could write to every one who had a part in the gift but I guess that is more than I can do, so you try and pass the word along that I appre ciate it from the bottom of my heart. Hope all of you are well and happy. I am feeling fairly well. Love always, IRENE.
