Editor's notes


This week, the next pile of cards and letters is from the girls in the family. 14 year old Louise is visiting family friends near Rochester, Elizabeth has started classes at Syracuse University and Marion appears to have started her first job–teaching school in Millville, New Jersey--but first, after graduating from Syracuse University, she apparently went to the Adirondacks for a vacation.
