Dot types a one-page letter from her Aunt Marj’s country home outside Erie. She rode here from the station in a 1946 convertible and is now enchanted by this exquisite estate home. Floor to ceiling windows offer views of Canada on a clear day. It’s times like this that make her wish she had Dart’s knack for description, but this house must be seen to be believed.

She’ll be returning on Saturday instead of Sunday so that she can get back to Kent and have a chance to get settled for the grind that’s about to begin.

She misses Dart and sends her love.
