March 1982
Can you believe that this was painted in 1650? I’m reading Van Gogh’s life so I walked thru cold and rain to the museum today to see some painting of his (not many here) and other things like the “dollhouse”. Wish you were here to do the museums with me now. I’m needlepointing like mad, besides reading, doing some cleaning. It’s still awfully lonesome. Jean said you really look great and entertained her beautifully. She greatly appreciated it. See you soon.
Love, Va
