June 9

Dear Doc,

I want to impress upon your mind that I really am a busy woman and in order to write letter I really have to exert a great deal of effort.

Good heavens, after reading the above.  I have decided it is a heck of a way to start a letter.  So I shall start again.

Dear Doc,

Thank you for the nice letter received yesterday.  Don't think I don't appreciate them because I do - I realize you are very busy.

Say, the weekend trip sounded, or present tense, sounds like wonderful fun.  Something I really enjoy doing.  However, a weekend is not long enough.  I like to stay at the lake all summer.  You see, Doc, I really am a very lazy person.  We use to spend the summers at Grant Lake and really raise H.  I'm sure I have told you of many of our "times" at the lake.  I think I could even endure the hair raising plane rides- piloted by one "Reckless Rounds". 

Incidentally the "new person" you were talking about you'll find on the face of  this card.  Looks just like me.  Don't you think?

I have a beautiful tan.  I get it mowing the lawn with a machineless mower too.  Sometimes I wonder-  Just what is happening to the men of our day - Broad question I must say.

Excuse this letter.  I really am not plastered so one could well surmise form it - must be the heat!

I am - or we are - waiting for Jo to make her appearance.  I hope she hurry up and gets here.  The golf course looks wonderful and I'm dying to play.

I hope you enjoyed the "Pops" concert - I envy you.

Must dash.  Time for dinner.  Do write soon.

As ever,

Anne
