Goo dear
Your nice long letter came this A. M. Glad you had such a good time. You didn’t say what you wore! & what will you wear at your dance? Perhaps I’ll send a cake & it would help out Don has a long letter written & I am going to send ½ sheet so that is why it is so [finely?] written You had not fold me before, that Pussy wrote you & you made no comment on Mrs. B’s phone message. Suppose you had no more time as your letter was a long one. Had you invited J. Lesher & any of those swells, as you called them to your dance. Am later to get the list. And as you say you are doing no other entertaining you can pay your debts in that way. I have been busy all A. M. putting new paper on dining room corner closet shelves. So many things were dusty and needed washing. Now take your medy regularly & keep up to the schedule. I think Miss Palmer is [very?] kind to help you as she has & all the others for that matter. Sent you a long letter yesterday. Am going to send ornaments & collar on my cape this P. M. The days have grown so short there is not much afternoon.
Love & kisses
Mamma.
It was nice of Miss L to ask you to serve. Did she borrow any thing from you?
