Dear Mr. And Mrs. Zarrow, I write to you once more to thank you - this time for your kindness in sending us the delicious Christmas fruits, nuts, and chocolates. Your thoughtfulness put a special bright spot into our Christmas. My sister was hoping to get over to Gilcrease to meet you before she had to return to Washington, D.C. but there were so many details to attend to pertaining to Solomon's death that we were unable to return to the Gilcrease Museum. I am enclosing an etching of Solomon's. I hope you both like it. Again - thanks for the fruit. Sincerely, Margarita McCombs"
