I'm sorry to hear the Ensign cottage is gone.  We had lots of fun in it, didn't we?  I wonder who ever got that sail boat I left.
How too bad about Mildred's dog.  I wonder if some other kind wouldn't be better.  Their house seemed quite warm & quite "gassy" to me; I wonder if that has anything to do with the trouble?
Uncle George should have gotten my card.  I wrote him, too, from Mass.  What goes on here, anyway?  Did I drop them in the incinerator chute by mistake?
Isn't that just like Letha to have a job.  She's the peppiest mortal.  I'm surprised that Sarah isn't a riveter, or something like that.
It's a grey, rainy day.  There was a powdering of snow still on the ground in Bethesda from the Christmas Eve sleet & snow, but it was all gone here by the next morning.
Still no news of going, & I'm getting impatient.  My sub-advance of $200 is all paid off now & from now on they are owing me money for my food.  That's really eating your cake & having it!
Love,
Helen
