THE COVINGTON NEWS
and thankfulness that I ever knew,
and have made up some, a mix
; ture of Portuguese and English,
and yet the deep feelings of my
heart remain unuttered and in
expressible.
In thinking it over I have about
come to the conclusion that if all
the contents of the heart could be
expressed they would not be ex
pressible. Another thing has
bothered me. Notwithstanding all
the stamp and lovely stationery
sent me along with these beautiful
cards, how on earth can I send
a personal note of appreciation to
each of the hundreds of friends
from all over the United States
; and Brazil, who were interested
I enough in me to remember to
send greetings and cheer on hav
ing passed one more milestone on
life’s road? How, with only two
old hands, and only 24 hours in
i the rapidly passing days?
Then came the inspiration to
turn to my friends of the press
! and ask them to help me out once
। more before I have to write "30”!
and give me space to say, “Thank
you, with all my heart!” to each
one, even the little children, as
well as the mature and august
! friends who sent me greetings.
Some one suggested that I just
answer the cards of the most im
portant! That would mean reply
ing to ALL for to me every one is
important.
So. will each one of you accept
this expression of appreciation as
: if written to you alone?
May God bless every one of
you. and grant you as many happy
years of life as He has granted
me.
