Tuesday Afternoon (at work)
Happy Valentine's Day:
How's things shaping up for the week-end. Don't wait until the last minute to get your evening gown out. Hang it out now and see if it needs pressing. Only use a warm iron on it, or it will scorch. I hope Don hasn't developed anything that will keep him away over the week-end.
We sent your laundry case off yesterday and you should have it by the end of the week. We didn't send the special something that I said we would in it, as it was too large, so that package went off today and you should also receive that by the end of the week. You are to wear it only when you wear long slacks or pants, don't wear it with shorts or bermudas. [sic] The gift is from Aunt Bertie for your birthday and she hopes you like it. She had to pay extra to send it, as the girl at the sub station at Morris' argued that you were in the fourth zone instead of the third. Dad has that trouble all the time and he has to mention it whenever he mails a package, they all think you're up around Boston. Don't forget Grandma's birthday Feb. 17th, at least send her a card. Your stockings must be good food for the mots, you should put some moth crystals in your drawer where you keep them and if you're not wearing certain ones, wrap them up in newspaper. You better check your woolen things and see if the moth[s] are in them and sprinkle some flakes around.
Friday night we went to see Helen of Troy, that was some spectacular picture. Saturday night we had club as usual at Dietz's and have it at our place this saturday. [sic]
Daddy started out early Sunday evening to do some more printing and his pictures are improving slightly, by the time you come home you might have all new equipment or improvements on the old. Grandma and Aunt Bertie gave me a permanent, with me supervising. It doesn't look too bad but they didn't cut it short enough to suit me in the back.
Last night I went to Ceramic's meeting and all I got done was cleaning green ware, so I came home early.
We stopped over to see Grandma Feiser for a few minutes yesterday, daddy took her a box of candy for Valentine and Edward is now working full time at the Bon Ton. Uncle Harry also has a pretty good job now with a rival firm of Helen's, and they're both doing about the same thing, only Uncle Harry willbe [sic] supervisor over the proof reading department, so they are finally all located in Rochester, N. Y. They don't know if Ann will change schools or not next year and come to Rochester.
The last few days I have been feeling better. Everyone is okay here. How's your arm coming along. Have a good time over the wek-end [sic] but don't take changes [sic] and catch cold. How's your play script coming along?
I guess if you would want us to come up for Parents's [sic] day, daddy might be coaxed to come, he just hates the long distance between here and there, I guess you do to[o]. Be good, see you soon.
Love,
[unsigned, but written by Pat's mother]
