Dear Molly:

Hi! I certainly hate to disappoint you, but I’m here in Chicago! You should’ve told me sooner, and I would have changed my destination! I was able to see Sandie while she breezed in and breezed out at the railroad station. I guess you’ve heard from her from Oberlin, Ohio. You know that Sadae is out in Minneapolis, don’t you?

Thanks for the congratulations! Yep it certainly feels swell to be out of school, but it shore looks like I’m headed for another…

…Don’t ask me where, cuz I really don’t know. At present I’m working, but I hope to quit by Sept.

…She’s lost that tom-boy look. In fact, she seemed like a lady.

Say, Molly how about a picture huh? Come on now –Maybe I’ll give you one?  Say, did I? Have you had a chance to see our annual? I don’t know who’d have one, but–

Well, I better get some work done. Be good and write again.

Love,

Lillian
