Thursday.
Dearest Mamie,
I think your “heart to heart talks” -- oh Peter -- have I lived to see this day! Are you going to have a question and answer column? Greak snakes and holy goslings, what ho cog, prithee my love -- Well anyway, thank goodness you have a sense of humor. You will have more fun out of it than a circus I’ll warrant.

borrowed by some unknown. I’ll try and recover it though so as to send it to you in the morning.
Saturday afternoon The Taming of the Shrew is to be given on the campus and I am looking forward to it with much pleasure tomorrow I’ve got to work from early dawn till eve on Elizabethian and Victorian Lyrics.

Tell me how you like my book review -- Goodbye
Slews of love
Peg.
