There’s just a brief letter from Dot today.

She’s writing from the home of the North family where she’ll be staying with Mary and Woody for the next two nights while their mother is in New York City. She was already tired when she got there tonight, but after preparing dinner and bathing two kids, she feels “positively drugged.”

She loves the sketch of the mantle that Dart included in a recent letter. Does he really think it’ll ever be made? To her eye it looks fairly simple and she’d love to help create it.

Isn’t it nice that getting married has given them both a good excuse for buying new clothes? She guesses that the fact that all their old clothes were getting threadbare would have been reason enough to buy more, but she thinks marriage is a better reason. She tells Dart that she’s a sucker for camelhair sport coats, especially when worn by tall, dark, handsome men like the one she’ll be marrying in 53 days.

She’s dreamed about their first night together every night for the last three months. She just knows it will live up to her expectations.
