Dear Mother,
This is a nice picture of our downtown in summer. this really is a lovely city, on the whole, and St Paul is too.
I have been fighting a cold so am taking it easy today. We’re watching the Vikings football game, of course. Kathy came over for lunch. We had a nice evening last night at Tim’s and delicious dinner as always there.
Love to you, Dede

Dear Mother
It is a dark chilly morning – I am doing laundry (+walking up and down the 5 flights of stairs for exercise!) and Bill is being a typical American male – watching the football game!
We had a nice eve at Kathy’s apt. last night. She had 5 friends in and we just visited. Bill and I had spent the day in St Paul – mostly at the impressive Science Museum. We’re going to Tim’s at 5 pm for supper. Hope all is ok.
Love, Dede

Dear Kathy
I am at camp and my horse’s name is Rio Grande. She is good. How are you in Washington? Is it different? Well, I like it here. It is a beautiful day, so I think I am going to go swimming.
Love, Valerie
