Arlington, Va.
14 March 1948

Dear Doris:

I was disappointed not to hear from you yesterday, but suppose the early Sat. delivery didn't get your late letter and it will come Monday. How did the dentist do with your tooth? This week come your hour exams and you may be trembling in your shoes as usual. But don't be afraid, you are doing well and have a good ability to express yourself if you don't try to concentrate it too much. I hope Weston's class isn't growing too difficult.

Dad and I went to Biolog. meeting last night, and I couldn't keep my eyes open, tho it was a good talk and fine pictures, but I had done too much house cleaning, I guess. Did you see the new moon with the big star over it? We drove down admiring it. 

Dad is doing income tax papers this morning, and is muttering away to himself and drinking ginger ale savagely. I have been washing all the windows in anticipation of your arrival. You know my usual anticipations always take the form of cleaning house from top to toe. I wish you could see my vase of forsythia here in the blue dining room. The bushes outdoors won't be out much before you come if the weather holds as cool as it is now, going down below freezing everynight [[every night]].

Billy Dodge was over to "collect for the Star" and hung about a long while speechless as usual, but his intentions were clear enough. I haven't mentioned that you are coming yet. He hasn't been boating yet this spring, too cold, but is looking forward to it. He might ask you! I don't suppose Eric is still around, do you?

There will be a showing of rare pictures at the Mellon that you will want to have a glimpse of. - I enclose
