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
About the photo: Found with this letter, in the spot where the photos were taped. Some photographs became detached over the years, so this isn’t confirmed. If you recognize the face or notice a mismatch, please let me know.
For Sister Flatley
A photo of Donna today, for Sister Flatley
I'm putting together updates for Sister Flatley, the class's teacher (Sister Roselle back then), probably printed. If you're comfortable, add a note or a photo of Donna today, and I'll include it.

No notes yet. Leave a memory or a few kind words for Donna.
Every note comes to me first. I only post the ones I've read, and I only show your first name if you say it's OK. I never show an email or phone number.
