Dearest Maggie,

I have received the lovely photographs of your relatives and am quite astonished that we have access to such a technology! To imagine that one’s image can be so accurately captured and then mailed to friends and relatives thereby sharing our very features with the world is a miracle we must cherish. I hope to one day sit for a photographer with my darling Melody but I fear she will not sit still for the long duration required. We shall see. I understand these have also been the subject of great discussion at the Ladies Photography Group! Thank you so for sharing of your family with me.

Your friend,
Mattie
