Miss Mildred Howells 89 Mount Vernon Street Boston, Mass.

December 14, 1921

Dear Miss Wyatt: Thank you very much indeed for being so kind and prompt about my father's letters. The Porters' cousins from Peru are nothing to what I can do - you have no idea how much a part of our lives and language your books are - Herrick? has become forever "Herrick, the man", and we constantly inquire "What shall I eat, and what exercises shall I take, to appear a large blonde?"
