Dear people:-
It seems rather funny o being a letter to you again so soon after I sent off the other, But I have time before lunch so I guess I might as well. I shall want some money before I get home. When is the Review meeting to be Papa? Are you going to take me around to see New York when I go down? That would be so nice. I declare I shan't write you any more letters. I just got your last one.
