St. Ann School Gloucester, Mass June 2, 1967 Dear Russell, Hi. I heard you are sick. I hope you will get well soon. I don't know you but I hope I will through this letter. My name is Donna Curcuru and I'm ten years old. I'm very big for my age. In fact I am the biggest in my classroom. I think I'm lucky because I get to help my teacher to do the high jobs. In school we have fun. In Math we are doing long fractions and I hate to leave them because they are so much fun to do. This year in school we have a new subject. Do you know what it is? Well if you don't I'll tell you. It's Geography. It's my second best subject. My best one is Math. Because of those fractions. Guess what! We are having a play

and I'm in it. My name in the play is [possibly: Jean]. I have five parts to study by Monday or else. I have to stop now so goodby and get well soon. Your friend, Donna Curcuru

Can you help?

Were you in this class, or do you know this family? I’d love to hear from you.
