April 25, 1937. Dear Carol, Cecil, Ruth, Evaline, Vacation days have a way of sliding by without the letter being written than one planned.

[Illegible] new must come in and see the loose pile of lovely [illegible], each one nicer than the last, and every one experiences as your evening knowledge of my tastes. Thank you all so very much. I'm enjoying these lazy days a lot...if only I don't grow too fat for my wedding gown. Right now, we are enclosed in a very wintery blizzard which seems surely more like January than May. But maybe a spring will be along after while. [Illegible]. I'll be thinking of you all at the house party in May. Wish I could [illegible] in. Best wishes [illegible]. Esther N. Daley.
