Dear Douglas:

The question in our mind is—did he or did he not make Washington for the weekend? We are sincerely hoping that you did, for the next weekend should see you home or at least heading that way. We can meet you at any time so just let us know. And by all means, send as many clothes home as you can spare, for with a washing machine here you can get much quicker service than at a professional laundry. Do you want any part of them heavily starched? Better address them to Dad’s shop...
