Confirmation

(1956 June)

This morning all went well. Before Church MM <11>opened her Prayer Book from godmothers and the book from you. Very happy about both and read some in each but I must admit far more carried away by our library book, The Nylon Safari, a gem. After church, home and back at 12. Right behind our car the bishop pulled up so no delay. MM wore same outfit as at your wedding only the veil. All went off well and she got a certificate about as big as this paper [8 x 6"]. A hundred years ago Baptism & Confirmation Certificates surely were more impressive than they are today. When I looked up those of my mother's family, I found them to be very well illustrated and at least twice as big as MM's.
