Dear Peter,

I have been full of grief and disappointment for the past week but I was unable to go with the Daddy when he left last Thursday. If he had let me meet him in Toronto and flown on as we intended then it would have worked. However, he was less and less eager to make this trip because of being so excited about his appointment and work here so he was really glad to have such a valid reason present itself. He rushed off and sent those cables without saying anything to me*.

Of course, he minded not going, too – seeing you, the trip to Poland, and Montpellier is so fine.

I’d gotten a box of things ready for you including your Indian headdress!

Perhaps we should reconsider the decision about your coming home for a short time – not a trip to the stars but a renewal of one’s roots by putting one’s feet back in the earth of one’s homeland.

[...] I was afraid you’d regret that house but I’m sure that it is better for the children to remain there and less traumatic for them. You have a definite cutoff date do you not?

There are good combination freezer and refrigerators now. Shall I buy one for you? Can’t you hire someone to see to your laundry, etc? Did the Daddy send your [?] money? I’ll send some if he didn’t but you must take care that you aren’t tricked out of it. Why don’t you consider coming back to the U.S.? Still it is so dreadful here now and dozens of young men are emigrating to Canada every day now.

They have set up committees of and for them in Canada. I’ll write more later. The Daddy is home on Saturday.

XXXXXXXX Love

Mama

P.S. You should be here right now enjoying the sun and hot sand and watching the hundreds of surf board riders! They are at it from dawn until night! It is very beautiful here.
