Dear Mother,

Well, it is rainy and cool, but better than the last two preceding days, when it showed and produced icy pavements.

Dean seems to have gotten a job, although it will not be certain until next week. It involves night work in a night club, so he will be away while I sleep and I don't expect to see him much. He doesn't plan to stay more than a month, by which time better work may have turned up. The pay is good.

The man who runs the place is an old friend of his and an artist. Yesterday this friend reminded him of how, after he received the Breadloaf Scholarship, Erle Stanley Gardner sent him a congratulatory letter, which he has unfortunately lost and even forgotten until the friend reminded him yesterday. He said E. Gardner was also a Breadloaf man.

Not much more news except, with the added time alone I will have taken up an Avon representativeship, involving selling beauty products in the office, at PHP, and in a block next to home. That should be fun, and profitable, since their products are very well regarded[[strikethrough]]ed[[/strikethrough]]. No investment is required.
