Additional Notes
"Dear Sis,
I don't want to do you out of a chance to see Dottie. If you don't get together ask her to come down while I'm at your place or we can go up. Such a short time - I'd rather stay in New Haven. If I don't hear from you Friday will you send card and give me any idea as to when your things will come, please. Love to all, Home"
