Dearest,
Do you remember this kind of paper coming to you from Centerville?  Because I haven't the envelopes for the kind I've used most of the time, I've been going through old boxes to finish them.
I've spent most of my time this afternoon writing the cards, have finished 74 so far.  And there are about 25 more.  Just talked to Rosie and they are going to send less than ten.  And they haven't mailed all those 10 yet.  I never did think much of their division of the job.
My plans were to ask them over today to go over the attic but it was rainy and gloomy and I did not get up until late.  Then I ran one batch of clothes and Bendy wouldn't pump any water during the time he was set on "wash" so I did that batch by running it on

Saving...
