Dear folks,

Well, more news from Louise: she wants us to send over her winter clothes. It will be a big job,but we are the only ones who can do it and there is no question but she will need them so we will do our best. At present the expressmen strike in N.Y. holds up and sending.

Got my first news story in on time, it was easier than I had expected. Here comes a drama bit: all day Monday I was trying to contact May Bloom, president of Idler on which I to write story, but unsuccessfully. I phoned and phoned, to find her phone out of order; and here the story was due at nine the next morning! At last when I had sat down to write it was best I could with imagined quotations of feeble worth, I received a call--from May--saying she was to be our new roomate! and would be right over to see the room: You can bet I had an interview. She is very pretty, red-haired, skipping intellect, good-natured. And more. Last night I went to bed early, and Jean came in about eleven. This morning we find a box of possessions on the bed and a rug on the floor--what a welcome she must have received,tiptoing in to find me asleep. There is no excuse, especially as she said she would be over to move in; I didn't think she would be coming in as late as nine-thirty, about the time I went to sleep.

Shall run to breakfast n w.

Love,

Doris
