    Autograph letter signed. Reports that she feels guilty that she is “basking in sunshine” and gathering blueberries while he is “slaving away at his desk.” Says she has tried unsuccessfully to help him join her, so she says the best thing she can do is to try to soak up “all the sunshine, happiness, and good health” to share with him later. Tells him that she loves the house on 61st and she hopes they can get it, but that she doesn’t want it if it is too expensive because she wants them to “dwell at ease, whatever [their] address.”
