Wednesday, Dear Dorothy, So sorry I didn't get the print sooner so I could have sent a copy to Mary F. I sure had a great time. thanks for inviting me over. I hope we get home soon—probably in six days. I'm learning many many things so you can see how much in a Muddle I am in. We get credit for this if we keep notes but I can't keep up with them for the life of me. I hope you are having some cool days. It is rather hot here too. We are going to code [illegible] in a test this morning. send your mother "hello" for me. Love Ruth
