Thanks ever so much for the check, and you were a duck to send the extra five dollars! It is cold and snowy here - I hope you have gotten the heating arrangements in order now so that you won’t freeze. I went skating yesterday for the first time this year and it was great. Then I came in and wrapped my-self up on the couch by the window and watched the sunset. You

I think it was too sweet of anything of Dora to say she wanted me to have that coat, and I am just about to write and tell her so. I’m furious at the Hodges and the Hollidays for giving their parties before I get home. I got a note from Marian Miller the other day. She says she has been having a mighty gay time this winter.
