A Birthday Boost from Bunny...

Lyla Kettenhofen, AKA "Bunny," was first Martha's cousin, then her cousin/step-sister
when M.E. O'Brien married his late wife Nell's sister, Lyla -- Bunny's mother. 
 (Got that?) When she wrote this letter, Bunny was Mrs. John Doherty with a
 young family of her own....
PS  Happy B'Day to me, Happy B'Day to me, etc., etc., etc....
