Dear Leonoras,

I am sorry you couldn’t see how enchanted Jony was with his pony. He would not get off it even to go down the steps into the big room so there was quite a mixture of pony + Jony at the bottom but no serious damage done.

We left in the midst of a blizzard — and Ersut [sp?] with his usual nonchalance didn’t start very early so we missed our train and missed Joody. I threw myself on the mercy of the Craws and stayed there one night, coming down alone next day. It is the first time I have even traveled alone and I am still recovering from the strain.

I am now waiting to get passage on some sort of boat for Savannah. I hope to get off on the 17th if — the dock strike stays settled + the dorm + Mr. Curtin + the other sisters are all having a chance to see their mother in peace + quiet!
