Dearest May Louise
I don’t believe a thing has happened since I wrote to you last. Thanks ever so much for the news about the Christmas present books that you have reviewed. I asked Polly about the three day’s visit to us at Christmas and she said Cerene had made her promise to stay all the time with her, and that I’d
have to arrange it with her. Polly wants to come I know, but she’s afraid of offending Cerene, Cerene has that old fashioned idea of intimacy -- if I am your best friend and you are mine, you can’t have any other best friend! She is jealous and selfish, but not any-thing enough to get really mad at. I imagine though that Polly will come -- Cerene did not seem enthusiastic when I asked her about it.
I’ve just gotten a note from Miss Mann asking me to come down and pour tea at her day at home this afternoon -- hope no disaster like the borax episode will ensue. I hope it won’t rain cause I want to wear my tailor suit.
Our curtains are up again and life seems to be going smoothly. How I wish you could hear Miss Salmon three times a week with me.
Farewell
Slews of love
Peg.
