Dear People:-
You will have to average up the letters you got last week and those you get this week because this has got to be very short. I am dreadfully busy this week on account of those rehearsals, and then of course Miss Hooker had to go and give me a conference today for which I have to write 2 long things. I really don't know when I can do them, but still. So I am sending you a note in the time between breakfast

her vaccination is taking hard (isn't that amusing). I am so afraid I shall get the grippe. Lots of people have it around here. As to the oranges. We get very good navel oranges for 35 a dz. Do you think it is too extravagant to eat there every night? I am so disappointed about the check, but anyway it is more than you thought it would be in the first place, isn't it? I think that subject for a paper would be lovely, Mamma.

I shall try to imagine Papa playing whilst tonight. I expect the first time he tried to shuffle he will spill the cards all over the floor. But of course he wouldn't mind such little things!
Lots of love,
Ruth.
