"Dear Bob:
I received your letter this A.M. and I am sorry to say that I wasn't here to answer 6200 Sunday.
Mother and I are going to the fair city this afternoon. I have already bought some of the dearest things in this town. I tried to talk Daddy into a pair of $13.50 slippers- but (I failed). Fred and Daddy came this morning and it seemed so grand to see them again!
I am glad everything is K.O. with L______ and E____.
Please don't lose your eight pounds until I see how you look.
We expect to be home sometime Monday afternoon.
Sincerely,
Jean
$13.50 slippers in 1926? I re-read that five times to be sure! I can't imagine what those would have been like in a store in Iowa!
