BBR to Robert 17 April 1944

 April 17, 44

Dear Robert[1] –

          Just got your letter I will try and come to L.A. but you did not give the date[2]. You said next week and it is the 20 or 29. I tag it's the 22— so I will try and get reservation for Friday at 10 PM. Just let me know at once, I have quite a full week something on every day.

          Yesterday was out to Hubert for dinner Cornelia and Dr[3]. were there too. I baked the ham being they have no oven. I also helped to plant petunias and it was is windy as it were.

          Let me know soon. With Love Mother[4].
