My Dear Girl.
The little “Breeze” flew in with the tidings of a wedding anniversary. How I wish that I might have been there. I surely shall try and visit you this Summer. It is a shame that we never see one another. Perhaps I can persuade Dr. Earl to take me there some day with his car. I would be afraid to drive our Electric so far–fearing the electricity might not reach–but if you will come and visit me next summer I will take you around the Parks.
I had a merry Christmas but have been so busy answering greetings that I have neglected any sewing and other duties. I gave a little party a week ago Saturday night. Everything passed off–pleasantly. I am associate mentor of the Physician's League Composed of all the women doctors. I am also a member off the Women’s Political Equality Club I am a housekeeper too. I love it.
Do you have the magazine “Goodhousekeeping” I have taken it for a number of years and it is a treasure. I also have the [?] I [?] and the American and the Womens Home Companion. Isnt the war something terrible? Thank God our Country is at peace even if war prices are being asked for our staples. Do you have egg + butter of your own? Much love.
Remember me to many. Louise
