Additions To Our Family From Dora Island
The Dora returned with four orphans Matrona Mike Irene and Nida Grasomoff aged 10 7 6 and 4 from Seamatnofsky Island where they were born. They join a sparse island community under Mrs Smith and Mr Smith who died last year. The letter notes their need for schooling and better care and describes their dark complexions and bright dispositions. A Seattle connection informs of a former orphan David Forsman who died after military service and illness. Mrs Erskine of San Francisco visited with the girls and plans to return to California after hikes with the children.
