Dearest Darlings,
I forgot to tell you in yesterday's letter that the Miami store have agreed to open their counters to all. I know you feel happy and proud about that.
What do you girls have for breakfast and what time? I wanted to asked Sunday, you were all so excited including me.
I sure have missed your letters this week. Have you found out about the doll yet?
We carried Irvin to the bus station on our way out. Oh, I was so happy to have him with me all day Monday. Alice says that she is going to write you. George Madry was there for the [weekend], he spoke at J.J.'s church Sunday. He looks very well. He is going to Howard next term.
