Jan 19th

My dear Miriam

I just got notice that my date for the 24th is at Shelton, Conn

This [??] is nearer NY than Boston so I will go there Saturday & that will put me in Boston, or rather at no 7 Residence Early Sunday am.

I was talking to Vivian (phone) and told her you were going to be at the job early in March & she is most interested in our movements and made me swear to get every morsel of news about you

Delar (maid) sent me away in good shape monday - a fine breakfast and a hearty "good luck to you." if I don't watch myself I'll be giving her candy

Love to you all

Dear Miriam: It has been more than a month since I reced your letter in NY and I've answered it every evening since, only, The answers just didn't seem to get on paper. I hope you are OK and that you are getting on with your charges in the "ref" all right. The Connicks sent me a clip from The Transcript which I thought was very well done. I got out of bed in NY and crawled into a bus not feeling any too good, but strangely enough I began to mend at once and was in good shape when I got here. Was down to LA last week with Mr Older for two days but didn't get out to Stone House was too busy running errands. However I got Elizabeth Woods on the phone at her school office and had a chat with her. She said Sara and Bode were coming out soon
