June 14, 1940 Dear Doris, At last I am getting around to writing. When I received your letter March 15 I started a letter the ferry soon afterward but it didn't get finished then so it never was. I also received your card written in Florida. I hope you had a nice trip. Please tell me about it. When I got your letter yesterday I was just going to write one to you. I think you are rather lucky to [[STRIKETHROUGH]]be[[//STRIKETHROUGH]] already be out can't speak a word of English. We have all been playing games with them after school. As one of the neighbors said, "children don't need a language to play." I think he was right. We did everything with signs and motions. I think they will learn English very fast. The whole family seems to be very nice. They came from Oslo, Norway. I hope very much I can come this summer. If I can't I hope you will stop here on your way to Mass. and possibly you could stay with us a few days and go later on the bus or train. Your Friend LeRoy [[MARGIN]] P.S. Your pets sound very interesting. I am sure I would like to see them. I had some salamanders for a while but then I let them go. They are very abundant in a woods near our house. They are under almost every rock, so when I get some room for them and mother stops being afraid of them I can easily get more.[[//MARGIN]]
