Mama and I certainly had a lovely little visit with our sweet child. It surely was good to see you. Every time we see you, we find you a little more grown-up - more collegiate - and yet just the same.
We drove home in gorgeous moonlight. I took a nap in Simsbury; and we got home in the wee [...] hours. On Mon. Mama learned that she was to be a registrar of registrants. Yesterday we went to the meetings of Ministers and Ministers' Wives of the N.H. Dist. in N.H. Mr Marvin was asking about you. Have you called on his child yet?
Last evening I saw Dan. (He had mimeographed tickets for our Choir Entertainment.) He wanted to know when you would be home - also repeated his offer to drive us out again. It might be a good idea to open his first-day covers. He may put messages within some of them. (He said something about "writing to a girl when her father furnishes the stamps.")
Today Mama fulfilled her patriotic duty as registrar from 1 to 5 P.M. She had some of the nicest people of Naug. in her group.
I am enclosing a picture that may embody a valuable suggestion.
Your room looks very nice indeed. I should like to don the cap of invisibility and spy on some of the doings.
Your ever-adoring
Papa.
