another feast (ending with wine & peanuts) then visited awhile and saw their lovely flower prints, played with cats & squirrel & came home about 4:30.  Wasn't that a good start for a New Year?
I wonder if Edna didn't get the card I wrote her from Massachussetts.  I wrote it very shortly after I got her note.
I'll write Issy as soon as I can.  Wasn't that just like her?  Why didn't she come as she planned?
I had a letter from Harriet.  She said they all had flu, including Mrs. C.  I'm so glad I didn't try to go to Pittsburgh.  I was tempted when I found I couldn't get home.
I'll try to keep my punctuation straight & you can just scrape any fly specks off!
It wasn't surprising that I looked a little tired in my picture.  I had it taken the day I got back & in the previous twelve hours I had gone through seven states & the D. of C.  Did the other two pictures get there?  They were sent at the same time.  I put them in two containers because they were too thick for one.
I think that is true about Bertha & Mrs. Hunter, all right.  Blanche was furious about Mrs. Hunter & seemed to feel she had "used" Doe.  I don't know whether the idea originated with Bertha or Blanche.
Harriet's little packages were a powder mitt (Matchabellis Potpourri, which I love) and a pound of almond toffee which was swell.  It was like that we make, but finished up with its coating of milk chocolate & coated with pecans.
