This is a short note from Dot, written while she’s still at Toni Gale’s house. She and Nancy are going to see “Meet Me in St. Louis” tonight, and then she plans to sit down and have a nice long, 10-page chat with Dart.

“I just talked with Mom on the phone and she says I have a whole slew of mail from you waiting for me. I can’t go home for 45 minutes and I’m going nuts! ‘Going?’, you say. ‘You can’t be going – you’re already there!’ It’s all your fault, you know. It’s you I’m nuts about.”
