By the way Bunny took off the Christmas tree for me an envelope which, upon opening, I found to contain a check or $100.00 from Mrs. Andrew. She also thinks she may have me typewrite a manuscript for her, and Theodore is writing another book, and he thinks I may do his typing too, so perhaps I shall work up a clientele after a while.

I went up town this forenoon and got some oranges, bread and milk, and then after dinner I lay down for a little rest, but I prolonged it until after dark. Now I am planning to go again. I need a few things and I want to take my shoes to the cobbler for heels before going in town to-morrow. I hope he is open. It is already about seven. I thought that if I took this with me to mail up town, you ought to get it to-morrow, but [[text continues on page 97]]

I found the rhubarb in the bottom of the open-topped bag to-day when I opened it, so I didn't lose it after all.

There were 17 cards waiting for me when I got back - some with lengthy messages - Ethel Robertson Perry sent a snap shot of herself husband and little Bobbie taken together. Mrs. Mindram wrote giving her present address, and there was word from Dr. Shorer saying she hoped to see me soon. Just a few minutes ago Madeleine brought in a postal from Jimmie in which she says Hedwig - Hanskie's sister - said the dress looked well on her; and that she had a pleasant day at H's brother's.

Now, how is this for an epistolary account of less than 2-days' happenings? Don't bother to read it all if you don't want to

Many thanks to you both for my things. Take care of yourselves and let me hear from you often.
Love, Lena.
