Dear Family --
What do you think our “Little One” did on Wednesday. Went downtown and heard Mrs. Philip Snowden, the suffragist leader, talk! And what’s more, I ain’t converted yet!! And she’d never do it.

three cheers. Thanks for the goods - it came this morning safely. Tell Jean I love the pictures and so does everybody else. Also, I have some white silk stockings, but must have left them at home, ‘cause [because] I haven’t [seen] them here. Also, I am thinking of taking my pink dance slippers downtown and getting them painted white, if possible, or maybe black. They are perfect for dancing.
I must stop now and go to bed like a good girl. Be good till I get home to discipline you.
Lovingly
