B White to Robert 18 Mar 1945

Dear Bob[1],

        Yes, at last a new address and are we glad[2]. It means a lot of work right at first, but eventually it will be so comfortable in our own home. Right now I’m weakened by the ordeal of packing and hence the mistakes. We move Wed. but only Dad is taking a day off. The following week he will get 4-days and Dan and I have Spring Vacation which will be put to good use arranging, decorating, and gardening. The zone number[3] is the same even though we’re moving two miles west. Don’t forget to use it!

Bye for now,

Barb[4].
