Dear Mother,
The weather has gone from very muggy and hot to cool and dry since yesterday. We were really suffering from a sudden heat wave there on the street and in the subway! But the house was cool with the air conditioner so we slept well at night.

Dean still has not been able to get out with his wagon, having to wait for the city to process his food handler's test. They gave him a complete physical and look for typhoid and pin worms -- which I'm sure he doesn't have. Nonetheless, he has been quite anxiously awaiting the good word and his license. He has all his supplies and is raring to go. In the meantime he can sell a few wigs. This wagon business is good; a therapist in my program said a friend of his in that business grossed $200 on good days which means over $100 profit. So we shall see. He had to join the Teamsters' Union and pay down a fee of $45, but monthly union dues are only $2, and it means he is in a protected business.

I am awaiting July 1 when I shall hear from another job I have applied for that sounds quite good: with the Planned Parenthood Federation either as an editorial assistant or a statistical assistant with secretarial duties, both positions paying more than I get here of course. They have fine offices near where I now work. They are awaiting news of their Federal grant application but seem to think it will come through. So things are going well.

Love,
Doris
