Dear Douglas:

Saturday we received our second letter from you and you seemed to be in good spirits, clad in your Boy Scout shorts. The Buff has written several times to his mother and told of his bicycle trip with a stop for a swim, so we know that life is enjoyable for him as well. Mrs. Buffum has had rather a long siege in the hospital but I think came home yesterday.
