Don't let mom know what she is getting, but send me a card & let me know.
Dear Marg:
I've been racking my brain, what little there is of it to find a suitable present for mom. I can't think of what she would want.
It looks like the job is up to you. What does she want? Something she would desire but feels she couldn't afford something she could treasure and show off.
A ring, fur piece, gloves & shoes assembly to match. You being with her should know. What I wanted to get her was a portable radio. I think she would like one swell, cause often when she goes visiting, either the folks she is with don't have one, or else she can't turn on the radio to the programs she wants. With a portable she could stick it in her room & play it herself.
About the portable though, I think R.C.A. has a gadget that charges the batteries as it plays on the light current, but I don't know about the tone.
You or Tom look around and find something then get the money from mom as I've drained my cash surplus and I think me and mom have enough in the kitty to buy her a nice present.
I was kind of hoping that the kids & you wouldn't get into your presents before Christmas morning. I thought they were Christmas wrapped & labeled.
Did the skates fit? I was wondering. I got the biggest for you I could find & was very much afraid mom would have to cut them apart & make one out of them so you could get in them.
Love, Jim
