even though it told me the sad news that I'll probably not see you

I spent one lovely day at the Metropolitan and spoke to this cat for you - though I dared not pat it. Have lots of fun and some rest. Devotedly, |

| weiz_055b | To Miss Elinor Shuffle
"My dear Elinor, It was very good to hear from
you and the changing feel of the kitten. I was so glad that you have
some teaching in the country-school especially since that plan about
med. artistry turns out to be so silly and round-about. We'll talk
about it when I'll get back, which won't be long now. In Switzerland
I didn't get much medic work, so I'll have to enjoy nature instead
and look into healthy eyes. It may do me good. It's here so
beautiful, it's indescribable. Wonderful weather, exhilarating and
uplifting! Merry Christmas to all of you! |
