Monday Afternoon

My dearest Mama,

This letter is way over due, but between housekeeping and all my other social obligations (i.e. plans for the dance) and trying to complete my research for my course project, I've been way off schedule. I do hope you haven't been worrying too much. I'll try to do better from here on in. Anyway, it won't be too long before I'll be dropping in for a visit.

We are both fine -- trying to keep out of range of the flu which is going around here. So far we've been lucky -- keeping warm and eating and resting well. Each day we try to do a little more on the house. Charles has put up all the light fixtures except one. All the drapes are up -- hems still to be put in, however. I get to them every now and then.
