TRANSCRIPTION:
Dear Thea
Thanks for your letter, mind you write me plenty: This is a very good picture of Rio, it is the most beautiful place I have seen I wish I could have stayed there & done some sketching. There are plenty of negroes here – you see negro women carrying naked babies about. They have lovely gardens here
Love from Edith
