You see your letter arrived to
help cheer the passing hours
this morning. I wasn't
asked to Priscilla's wedding – they
neglected the Haslett's, tho at one
time LeRoy and I were quite friendly.

I had thot [thought] maybe I would tag along
as Roberta's escort as it really doesn't
make much difference who goes to
the church – but now I guess she
won't be going. My afternoon
party has just arrived. Eleanor
sent me some ice cream.

You didn't get the idea of those pictures –
that is the one Tony D Mark.
That meant his name was Tony, I
was D. and Mark the good-looking
one. He was the one that might
have caused you worry. The
enclosed was taken at Biarritz. Bob
thinks it's the best I've ever had
taken. Suit yourself as to his judgement!

I haven't had those [illegible] taken yet –
anon I hope to. Will look different
won't I? Afraid I'll never be
quite the same again. Of course
I hope to enjoy another trip abroad –
but haven't you ever wanted to go to
South America!! Dr. Martin's nurse
phoned that he's sick in bed so can't see
us this week. Just as well for us perhaps as I
doubt if we would have felt like going. Aurevoir – Doris –
