Dear Mother and Daddy,

Thank you for your letters and enclosures. Enclosed is a
clipping from Wed.'s financial page. I thought it might interest
you to hear of Jack Egan's good fortune.

Jack Shelter was here this morning. He certainly looks good
togged out in his black suit. I showed him the wedding proofs and
gave him a clipping from the Palo Alto times regarding our wedding,
for you. Since the photographer who did our wedding book was a
personal friend of Jim's mother, we have the negatives as well as
the proofs. I will have a set printed up for you if you would
like one. There are 28 of them.

Glad to hear that you are all so well, especially Cookie.
Jack told me about her little jump. She really is amazing.
We are all well and happy, busy with a thousand projected pro-
jects, including the thank you notes. I haven't even begun to
think of my own neglected correspondence yet. The wedding
gifts still dribble in. Could you please supply me with addresses
for the Clevelands and the Millers. Both sent luncheon sets.
There has been quite a run on those things, and when we get a
few more, we will be in great shape to open a pizza parlor.
They are all very lovely, of course. The [Gossmans?] sent us a
set of knives, all sizes, very nice, the one thing that we did
not receive and we didn't realize it until their gift arrived.
We have really been wheeling and dealing with our three electric
frying pans, two electric mixers, and two pop-corn poppers.
We traded one of the poppers with some other newly-weds for a
waffleiron, and one of the frying pans for a toaster. One of
the mixers is ear-marked for a Christmas present, and we're
keeping two of the frying pans since most people who start with
one, usually buy another.

Mon.

It was one of those weekends when you don't get anything
done but you don't stop moving. We did get the groceries in.
We have an awful time plotting where to buy them, &
which sale to hit. We're working on a deal to get our meat
wholesale. Two other couples who we knew before they on
we got married, came over, one in the afternoon, one in
the evening, on Sunday, & so whirls the weekend away, to
paraphrase the poet.

Tues. Saw [Fr. Ferney?] yesterday. He certainly looks
& sounds better since his European vacation. Sunday
the church was filled with Freshmen, for whom [?]
they have an excellent Western [Civ.?] seminar at [N?]
man & I just hope the lecture program this year is
good as what they have for freshmen. [Ber?]
