Dear Helen:
I forgot to say in my letter to Mamma that I am so glad to hear that all of you have been so well. Surely you couldn't have done anything to please me better — you and Psyche and the baby (Alice).
It seems to me that I heard about someone being in the 3b grade in school. Who was it, or did I only dream about a little girl skipping a whole half year? Write and tell me all about it. What a great big girl. The baby must be nearly in the kindergarten now, isn't she? It seems so funny to get letters talking so much about what she says and does. When I left she only said a few words and took two or three steps. Now to run and talk everything!
Since the rain there are so very many toads and frogs about and their songs so funny that I wish you could hear them. When I come home I will try to tell you how they sing only I am afraid that I am not as good as singer as they are. One kind is called the "Esquirso." It is a funny looking toad that is nearly like a ball.
