Sept. 19th[1]
Dear Robert:-[2]
I am
rejoicing at the news of your purchase of Quit Noel[3]. I
shall promptly release you of it as I should love exuding its odors and it sounds
slightly as though you are wearying of them.
School
started. Bill is going back John is not. We are still hoping to get him in
before long. The ring worm is vastly
improved.
Paul flew
to Chicago ,
stayed a week and flew home again. While I was still telling people he was in Chicago . He’ll probably go
East again next week but we are hoping he can wind his job up very soon.
Leo Berti
is home. He looks fine. We’ve had fun with him. He doesn’t know what he’ll be
doing after his leave is up. That depends on his mother’s health.
Mama and
Cornelia went to Grants &
Hume Lake
Happily the
weather is beginning to give promise of Fall. The nicest time of the year in
the San Joaquin Valley
Our bridge
met at Cornelia’s’ last night for the first meeting of the year. We have a new
member from Madera ,
Margret Caun[4] – very
nice. We had some good discussions – the chief was one labor unions. I am
afraid I’m becoming a confirmed capitalist – quite a change from my days of spouting
socialism.
I’ve been writing
this piece meal and think I’ll close not to put this out for the M.M.
Love,
P.S. Is 50¢ a sufficient sum for “Laundry Charges”?
