October 15, 1947

Dear folks,

I hear that a hurricane was off Cape Hatteras yesterday. Are your skies as blue today as ours? This is wonderful weather that laughs to scorn my booked looks. I don't dare ride through the park. Gave up biking to Concord with David--no great bereavement, I'm sure--in it. Glad Dad has found so many new things.
Had you ever poked about at this time of year before?

Here we have now meatless Tue and fowlless Thur--with the result that they served turkey last night and will serve beef Thur--no real saving. I forgot to wait tables Monday night, as it's being a holiday set me off; nobody noticed I guess.

May has been doing for us the Troika--a wild Russian dance; a bit of the Highland fling; and, uttering a [[strikethrough]] sh [[/strikethrough]] dramatic shriek of horror at the sight of her bed (when I found her this morning she was tied up in a knot of spread, quilt, and tawny hair), fell to work.

Well, to Shake,

Love,
Doris
