Dear Folks: Glad Sophy has apt. sharers. Did Dolores ask her about the museum job?

Hot here - in the 90s the past 2 days; way up today but doesn't seem nearly as hot as Wash D.C. Have shellacked the bath + dining room floors and washed sheets, etc. Got the pineapple bedstead set up yesterday, Leon Blanc and Leonard helped me. He brought me Harris' Insects injurious to Veg. 3rd edition (1862) a copy that came into his possession with other books. I wish I knew how much it sold for. I don't want to accept it as a gift if it is too expensive Would Miss Colcord know its value?

Love D.H.B.
