Dear Douglas:
What an exciting pleasure to have an unexpected postcard from you delivered at the shop! So glad you can have the experience of going to Chicago and particularly with someone who knows the city. I do hope when you are in New York that you can come home for a weekend and that your roommates can come with you. You know we can “sleep” three upstairs and if you want to bunk with Dad, I can go in with Marilyn. So plan to do it if you get liberty. Tommie writes that the studies are terrifically stiff and I am much pleased to hear about your math mark. I’ll look up the Gronneberg address when I go home and send it to you after you reach New York and I know your address there...
