[Lt. Col. Burtis L.] Fayram left the battalion CSK sorry about it. Sent books to GTK. She finished reading ‘Ulysses’, which she liked, and wrote a paper on it. Hopes for time to really study it. Now reading ‘The Forsyte Saga’ which she is loving. Wants to know what art books he has, as the Vassar Bookstore’s supply is dwindling. Copies Elizabeth Barret Browning’s ‘How do I love thee?’ in the letter. Encloses three Dahl cartoons from the Boston Herald. Dahl was a favorite of hers and her family. Stories on the back of the cartoons give a real sense of the war on the homefront.
