Dear Lucille,Thomas opened his box today and it was a beautiful and useful top you sent to him. He only has a couple of pull-overs, one of which he wears practically all the time. Thank you very much. Today, Sunday, I fell fitfully asleep after being up all night. I did not try to phone Shayne at all. I have a mobile phone too. But it also is unreliable. It keeps going dead, even though it is kept plugged all the time.Well, thank you again for being the true spirit of Xmas. I hope Xmas will be a restful and rewarding time for you. I know Shayne would be happy if she were able to be with you again this Xmas. Having not seen her, I was unable to tell her about your invitation. You see, there is a synchronization of important things I wish to share with Shayne and my inability to see her at those times, which makes it all the more frustrating.
