May 9, 1944

It’s a rare day when we have a letter from Dot but none from Dart.

This is just a quick note telling Dart that her job interview was postponed until tomorrow. To fill her day, she cleaned the ice box. (Was it literally an ice box, or an early refrigerator?) She remarks at how dusty the whole house is, even though she and her mother cleaned it on Saturday. She comments that she’s lived in that house for 17 years, moving in when she was one. My grandmother was still living in that same huge house long after I was 17. It was a grand old place, but I’m guessing not much fun to clean.

There’s a note enclosed with this one that apparently accompanied the oatmeal cookies she baked for Dart.
