A letter to Dorothy from the doctor who delivered Bea & Pat:
Dear Mrs. Gorton,
Thank you very much for the beautiful leter which reached me last evening. I shall always cherish it - along with the wonderful letter which Mr. Gorton sent me after your first little girl was born.
Not only did your letter add to the pleasure of
my day - but - the knowledge of your confidence in me - and your kindness and underdstanding - win or lose - does something to me which is exceedingly difficult to put into words.
It was wonderful to have you and the babies come along so nicely - and it is to see them grow and develeep [develop] - However, I am confident that it was a part of the plan that
the prayers - of all - were answered.
Thank you again - for your kindness and thoughtfulness and your cooperation.
Sincerely,
Beatrise O. Jones [perhaps 'Q'?]
The letter seems to me to imply complications and/or that it was not an easy delivery?
