Dear Rose and Nick:

Received your most welcome card, Rose. Whatever you want to do is alright with me. I do believe that you are nearer to Nick, than you would be here in Baltimore. But, if you rather come here to work, don’t hesitate to let me know. Perhaps, after Nick becomes stationed at a definite place, than you can decide what to do.

Haven’t received any mail from the other members of the family for sometime. Mary writes that everything is fine with her. I wrote to Helen last week, but as yet, have not received an answer to it.

I rather if you didn’t write cards to me. I don’t particularly care for the landlady to read my mail, as she is very nice, but quite snoopy. I do believe you remember Mrs. White. Well, this one is just half bad. Therefore, whatever you write, place it in an envelope.

I sent home an Easter Card and some money. Shall go home very shortly for a week. I couldn’t make it this week, at least for Easter Holidays as I had to work on Saturday.

I spent a very nice Easter at the house. Attended church with one of the girl’s from the house. Her friend came over, we went down to the park and took pictures.

I’m attending school twice a week—night classes, of course.

Our department has moved into the downtown section of Baltimore. Our site in the Federal Land Bank Building. Today, while eating in a luncheonette across the street, I got acquainted with a man by the name of John Hoover, who is an attorney for the Federal Land Bank Building. He told me that he knew John very well. What a coincidence! Wherever you go, you always bump into somebody that knows you or some friend of yours.

I had a date Saturday night… but wasn’t what I expected.

Andrew’s letter is at the house. Shall I send it to you, though? Sending my best regards to you and Nick.

LOVE,

Sister Esther
