Tuesday Afternoon
Dear Patty,
How's your cold now? If you had a strep throat take good care of yourself as it often comes back with a harder attack, even if you had Penicillium so watch yourself closely and don't get your feet wet and wear your oxfords. Also watch out for drafts.
Grandma started out to work yesterday by first going to the eye doctor at 8:00 and then finishing up with a dinner and class meeting in the evening and she came home saying she wasn't tired. I guess she must be made out of tougher stuff than you or I.
Saturday I really went on a buying spree, bought three new dresses, pr of patent shoes & a patent bag. I'm just about ready for Easter. The dress I got for Easter is quite the cats, it has a long torso which seems to be the style this spring. The other two dresses I got for work this summer.
Did you see Peter Pan on T-V Last night. It was super. They had Mary Martin and Cyril Richard and the original cast. They really had her flying thru the air. I missed YW. Club to see it.
How was your cake. I guess you were surprised. Did the package hold up alright. We had a time keeping the lid held down. Save the can.
Don't forget when you come home this time bring some dresses along. You can hang two on each hanger. Also bring a hat for church. And during your cold you better wear something on your head. Also sort of plan what we are to take back with us, other than the cans & cartons.
This is what's in the nose drops in case you want to check at the infirmary. "Privine HCl 1% 3/5" 6 drops each side, which isn't necessary.
I guess we'll work tonight as we watched television last night.
Did daddy tell you he got his watch and its [sic] quite smart.
Everyone is okay here and for pete's sake take care of yourself. Are you running out of cards. I got you some more but if you don't need them I'll save them for when you get home.
Love -
Mother
