I'll be here until Tues. Mon. P.M. I'm going to see a fellow from school (the one we met at Ravinia). That will be fun. I had lots of fun with you Wed. and Thurs. It was swell to see you Marsh! See you in 2 weeks. I'll call you when I get home. Love, Dody." Addressed to, "Miss Jeanne Shupp and Marshall Blanchard, 308 S. Spring La Grange, Illinois."
