Bess, Letter 1, page 1 May 10, 1949. Dear Lyman, — I’m “sitting” to night, at the Williams’ home, and I was here last night while they went to the movies. And to day, from after eleven until a quarter of five, I was at a very lovely home, taking care of two little girls, aged 4 and 2. I had lunch with them. It was an easy way to earn $2.50. This Thursday I’m to “sit” with these little girls again. To-morrow, Mrs. Spilman and her two daughters are to have lunch with us, and I think Mildred will come, too. So the days are quite busy ones. Not a day passes, however, without loving thoughts of you, and Grace, & Carol. I hope there will be more rides, and that Grace will go, too. I’ve just been writing to Betty, and to Nell Daggett. I’m getting rather sleepy, and Ferne Williams told me I was not to try to keep awake. So I think I will take a nap now. I spent most of the day yesterday at Mildred’s. She was taking care of Perry who wasn’t feeling very well. He had been vaccinated recently, and evidently it was making him uncomfortable. - - - - Wednesday, May 11, now. I’m in bed and soon must put out my light. I earned $4.00 last night! We had a very pleasant time to-day Writer Bess Date written 1949-05-10 and 1949-05-11 Paper x in x x in, ivory unlined Pen Penmanship Style File name to Bess 1---?-001-001-001
