Dear Dr. Grayson
Thank you ever so much for the candy—It was delicious and it was sweet of you to think of me—How’s that?—But it is true this timeI’m dining with your friend Miss Gordon tonight and shall tease her quite a bit about you, altho’ my ear buzzes so I don’t know whether I can go or not—Why did you ever go?—Poor Father of course got sick, I was afraid he wouldn’t be able to stand your absence—He hasn’t enough temperature and a slight attack of the grip and feels very poorly—
I read all about your putting out a fire today and wished more than ever that I was with you all—You must be having lots of fun and I’m sorry in a way as that means that you are not missing us at all—I couldn’t forget you if I wanted to as Father talks about you all the time—The Draper’s dance was loads of fun and you missed a lot, we staid up until four thirty, consequently are wrecks today—Father didn’t go, he went to bed last night—
This is much too long for a thank you letter and I have lots more of awfully interesting things to say too—wasn’t Sally’s letter killing—She sent one off to Col. House this morning—My dear Colonial House—It was so funny that I couldn’t correct her—We all miss you terribly and come back soon—I think Father’s going to take me with him—
Nona—
