Two Poems
August 4, 1946
All the girls are having a grand
long weekend, staying just acrossfrom Washington Park. Went to town
shopping on Friday, hurried backand changed for dancing. Stepping out
to dance at Jantzen Beach tonight.You’ll see the snaps. I took some
special for you, showing off the roses.

On board on the way back,
a rough crossing, but I haven’t
missed a meal yet. Never leta travel agent fool you—I needed
to find my sea legs, same as
on any small boat. It’s beena fine holiday, and now I’m broke.
