Dear Dot

Was able to see Othello at last minute, which was so good I bot a Shakespeare Modern Library edition to read on the train. (Now reading Othello)

The train is full now but the coach train with reserved seats is much superior to an ordinary train. Would suggest you take the Penny if you think it possible. Of course you wnet on Sunday which is the worst day of all This is the same train you and I took home same $1.15 dinner etc.

Had talk with Marian today she is much happier and told me that not having a husband was mostly what was wrong with her. I told her I approved of Dan and that he was the best she ever had around that I had met. She siad she was so glad I approved and she said it was about time for her to get married.

They may go west this summer to get married or they may stay east. Dan has to make business trip and that will govern it somewhat.

The Sculptors Guild show was a stinker. Dont know whether I told you or not. Never saw Lipchitz - stopped at his studio Sunday on 23 St. but it was a closed building then was in Macys today bot the book cigarettes and couple cheap ties 2 for 94 - looked at shirts etc. ties and decided Macy's was really the best of anyplace in town - been looking at the other stores. Marian invited me out for Tuesday or offered to come in if Id stay over day or 2 on way back. Want to get a couple summer sport shirts and 3 good ties. Marian says she wants us to come down at least a week or a weekend when the government houses are built. She had the same old trouble with the neighbors but the lawyers have got it in control, they think. Train writing not so easy - nor will the reading be. Got a nice Modern Library Shakespeare for 60c at Macys - they have a complete, tragedies comedies and poems in 3 vol.

ired Catherine before I left.

I miss my baby Dehner.

Ill give you a good house and a good life with paintings and shade trees and mouseless house.

As you know Dans house is OK but it sure occasions a heap of walking. My feet are sore. Ill have to rest up in Paulding. 

Good bye chick a biddy - have fun
See you anon
and much love
David
