3 September 1970

Dear Mrs. Ullman:
I was so glad to get your letter, for I had been expecting to see you from day to day, and Doris, when I telephoned her, didn't seem to know when you were coming, so at least I was relieved when I heard from you. But I was very disappointed for I had everything all prepared and was looking forward so much to seeing all of you. I suppose, as you say, your time here was short because you have tog et back to see your other son who was to come in September.

At least you saw Jack and Doris and had a chance to talk with them. One gain no little from letters. I have been worried all summer about Doris. When she gets overtired instead of letting up, she goes it all the harder, and I was fearful of another breakdown. The hospital must have realized her state for it gave her a long needed vacation. I hope she is getting back to her normal state. It has been such a hard summer here along the eastern coast - 90 plus for days and so humid in Wash. D.C. But the past 2 days we have had a break with only 80 plus and clear fresh air instead of smog.

I trust Jack is all right and that your uneasiness over him is quelled. Doris says he is much wrapped up in his boat. I suppose he takes consolation in that. Doris on her part is putting all her energy into her work. We old ones can't do anything about them but trust that things will somehow be better.

I hope you are rested from your trip and will not have your pupils on hand right away. Do write and tell me how everything is with you, and your visitors.

Affectionately,
