and positive child, with cropped hair.& *
expressive brown eyes. He would be a ‘
handsome boy if he wa.s not so very thin,’
He is an affectionate & sensitive child •

to express their, deeply felt -gratitude * j
to their many kind friends". • The family !
live near the town of levadia- which is * j
situated in the area of Delphi, the spot j
of the famous Delphic oracle of ancient
times. It is an- agricultural- area and •
most of the inhabitants are small farmers
cultivating their own land which produces
wheat and cotton. When the winter sets •
in, the weather, like Ada!:, is cold and •
windy. . .
