Gertude should “Tell Auntie P. to stop a crowing!!!” The wind has been very strong in Washington recently- the streets around one church are chained off because the wind blew the spire so much out of plumb. After discussing Mamma’s condition with Dr. and Mrs. Hatch, Starkey thinks it would be a good idea for her to come spend two weeks with them in Washington. He hopes Gertude will agree and help pack her wardrobe. He believes frequent change in locality is essential during changes in life. Names mentioned: Auntie P.
