Dear Mother & Daddy,
"We got your letter yesterday and were awfully glad to get it. It has warmed up again and has been lovely weather. I hope it stays warm so we will have a nice trip to Boston. Won't it be nice for us to see where the Pilgrims had the first Thanksgiving? We plan to go to Plymouth Rock where the Pilgrims were supposed to have landed.
I went to the Dames last night and had a real nice time. I'm meeting so many nice people. Each meeting we have a speaker and I understand that Eleanor Roosevelt has promised to speak to us after Christmas. Wouldn't that be grand? Our speaker last night was Mrs. Furniss, wife of the Dean. Her topic was food substitutes and she had just started good when the blackout sirens started in. The air raid wardens made us all go to the shelter in the basement and we stayed down there for 40 minutes. We couldn't go ahead with our program because there were about 75 other people in the shelter and there was so much noise you couldn't hear anything. Most of them were Yale boys and there was a piano in the shelter and they played and sang and had a big time. By the time the blackout was over it was getting late so we had to have our coffee and cupcake and come home.
B is going to do substitute teaching at the YMCA Jr. College so he'll make a little extra once in awhile. It will pay about $4. an hour."
Write soon and often,
Lots of love
B & Bonnie
