You are here: I Love Lucy >Lucy’s mother writes her a letter

Lucy’s mother, Mrs. McGillicuddy, has written the following letter to Lucy Ricardo—enclosed in a letter she sent to Ethel Mertz, since she couldn’t remember her daughter’s married name!

“Dear Lucy,

How are you and Mickey? I couldn’t find your address, so I’m sending this letter to Ethel Mertz. If you don’t get it, please let me know as I have made a copy of it. The copy is enclosed.

As a matter of fact, if you have read this far, you must have received this letter, so tear up the copy and thank Ethel for me.

After hearing the good news about you going West, I got to thinking how I’ve never been any further west than Youngstown, Ohio, and this seems like a golden opportunity for me to get to California. I rented my house to a lovely couple, and have bought a whole new wardrobe for the trip.

Sorry I didn’t tell you I was going with you sooner, but you know how it is when you’re planning a long trip, some little detail is liable to slip your mind.

Sincerely yours,

Mrs. McGillicuddy”
