Dear Cathy:

I received your very nice letter yesterday. Was so glad to hear from you. My neice [sic] is coming to pick me up on June 6th and I’m going to Winnfield. My roommate is going to Germany, and I’ll be in Winnfield while he’s gone.

I’m sending you photographs made in the apartment and at the U.N. park, with the cherry trees in bloom. They were given to the U.N. by the Japanese. The pictures made in the apartment show all the plants. My roommate loves plants. That’s his department.

I think Mr. Carter did himself proud in London. The British seemed to like him very much. I like him. Naturally he’s a Southerner.

I know being a post-mistress must be rewarding after being a news agent. No heavy lifting or counting pennies. I hope you do get a part in a play if its on stage or on television.

I’ll say goodbye for now.

Love,
Heathcliffe
