Peter, Marcy, Jed, and Jay

Addendum to the previous letter, thanking George and Helen for gifts and mentioning that a couple of friends got married.

Postcard from Marcy talking briefly about Peter’s job hunt.

A note from Marcy after a visit from George and Helen. “This is a bread-and-butter note back to you - to say thanks for coming & for all your good nesses, and for these notes, and welcome home!”

Marcy writes on a bunch of different topics, including how Jay and Jed are doing, car troubles, considering moving, Proposition 13, Peter’s job, Marcy’s illness, the impending birth of a cousin, and more. “this morning I noticed that the world was kind of polluted, so I cleaned it up and polished it, and now it goes around quite merrily. I put a special shine on Alaska for you, and wiped the international date lihe particularly well. I had always thought God made the world, and was a little surprised to find it said Rand McNally down in the Pacific Ocean.”

Marcy talks about packing to move, and various other news. “Jed won the American Legion Award (a medal & certificate) for an essay on Americanism […] How’s that for naches?”
