Let’s call today’s submission from Dot the “Variety Pack.” First, there’s a cute letter from Tonsillectomy written in a child-like scrawl and filled with news about how much she misses her Poppa and how much she’s been studying. The final sentence says, “Well, Daddy, Momma’s hand is getting awfully sore from writing with her left hand, so I guess I’d better quit now.”

Next comes the official announcement of the winter graduation at Andrews School for Girls on February 11th. You may recall that Dot finished all her academic courses last spring and has been working at Franklin Simons to complete her practicum to qualify for graduation. It seems like just a short while ago she was describing all the activities of last year’s graduation to Dart when he was confined at Great Lakes Naval Hospital.

Finally, Dot has enclosed a calling card, engraved with Miss Dorothy L. Chamberlain, and a brief note on the back. “Dart Dearest – I’ll be thinking of you and loving you all during commencement exercises – and forever after. I love you always – Dorothy”

Not much news, but a novel way to keep in touch.
