[postmarked 20 March 1923]


Dear Mother:


Thanks for your congratulations. I'll tell you all about it next week. I haven't time to write it now.


I'll either send my trunk before Wednesday and put the material in it or send it in my laundry Wednesday or bring it in my suitcase. I don't want to take up the space in my suitcase if I go to Atlantic.


I just wrote to Henrietta. If she can be with me some of the time, I shall go to Atlantic some time Saturday. I want to go to the Foregin Policy Association luncheon and lecture Saturday noon to hear the discussion of the Ruhn question. They always have splendid speakers. Three of us are going.


I don't want Aunt Bessie for any shopping. She has rotten taste, and I don't care to be dependent on her or have to thank her or anybody else. I shall attend to the shoes Saturday morning, according to my present plans. If I don't go to Atlantic, I'll come home Saturday night.


Find out from Marse if I can go to his sweater place alone and let me know immediately.
I tried all my summer dresses on this afternoon. They all look all right, but seven need lengthening. I shall need Miss Lendl then to lengthen two satin slips and seven dresses. All will be easy to lengthen except the blue voile. I should also like her to put new red cluffs on my blue goregette with the red, if possible. I'll attend to all that myself. Two days of her time will be ample.


I may send a few of the dresses in my laundry, but don't have them washed till they are lengthened as they would only need pressing again.


Love,


Fannie
