CALDER PAINTER HILL ROAD R.F.C. ROXBURY, CONN., U.S.A. TEL. & TEL. WOODBURY 122-2 Aug 30/46 Dear Keith Thank you very much for the undies!!! However, if you'll forgive me, I'll give them to Louisa, as they would be a bit snug for me & I managed last winter to get a couple of very heavy all wool suits that are big enough from Sears Roebuck. I still have some woolen underwear that I bought in Paris in '26-'27--I don't think it's shrunk, for I seldom have them washed! But I have swelled, and the ass of the pants first got holes, and then runs, until they look like this [[image: doodle of a pair of long underwear with a hole in the seat]] This, in fact, is why I never have to have them washed, as I just wear a pear of shorts over them, which I can change according to necessity. Aren't the Chinese wonderful?
