Same. 1 folded sheet, 4 pp.
Just back from hospital; Clark feeling better. Got your letter saying you had lots of snow. They keep you busy either in the kitchen or waiting on tables; you won’t always have to do that. Getting nothing for Easter, just paying bills. Last night 3 girls from the Goodrich & Edna Gardner were here to play cards; they go to YWCA for lessons in sports; they want me to go, but I work harder than them & know that stuff anyway. I’m busy writing to you & studying English, arithmetic & spelling; won’t go horseback riding this summer: too busy studying. So busy at the shop. Call me Thur night & let me know if you’re coming home. I will love you always.
