Dear Sid:

Doris and I are going steadily on the grass cutting and if the good weather holds should finish it in a couple of days. That and a few callow maples are the most I plan to do this hitch.

Olga came over yesterday afternoon and stayed to supper and seemed to enjoy her visit very much. She looks so thin, tho, - has lost about 20 lbs and isn't at all happy looking. I hope that cancer isn't recurring anywhere.

Doris went down and got her traveller's checks yesterday and carefully copied them. She didn't want me to help one bit ... I see evidence of her wanting to be very independent ... she talks of tramping about Austria with some girl, and wants to teach next year in Arizona, eh, but don't think she is quite as bad this summer as usual. She has closeted herself in your little building to finish reading some library books. Tomorrow we plan to go into Boston to buy her a coat, dress, and shoes for travelling and maybe a couple of handbags such as your canvas one. I find her suitcase lock won't stay shut and besides the little case is very heavy, a canvas bag would be better. And she wants to ask a girl friend out here one night, so she will call her up & make arrangements. She says Barbara will help with the work and I won't put myself out. If she wants to - she hasn't yet decided -- we will attend her class day night, and then go to N.Y. on the midnight train. I shall be glad to get away finally as it has been a strenuous time here.

I hope you are finding everything satisfactory there and enjoying meeting folks, and not having any trouble with your laundry.

We are looking for another note from you. I sent the pictures in a regular envelope.

Love,
Doris
