Here’s another greeting card sent during one of Dot’s very busy weeks. This time, it’s coming from “Tonsillectomy,” the African pillow/doll that Dot has claimed as a “daughter.” I’m a little surprised that a card featuring a dark-skinned child could be found in 1945, in Greenwich, Connecticut – perhaps one of the whitest communities in America. Anyway, it expresses a sweet message that Dart is missed very much. It also serves the dual purpose of cementing an inside joke that has grown  between the two of them. (Although I notice it’s mostly Dot who perpetuates the joke.)

Tomorrow brings a long-awaited letter from Dart.
