I think she'll be able to find use for it on her breakfast table - and it does have an interesting history. It is suppose to be part of a shipment received since the war composed of silver contributed or sold by British families to further the war effort. I want you to urge her, mother, to accept it without any great expostulation or any hurried attempt to get something for me. I got something for you in Jacksonville a couple of weeks ago and mailed it just today. You will find that it is much like some other jewelry I have given you, but better looking, in my view. In any event you may get some enjoyment in choosing among them for a particular occasion. Can you make any suggestion for George or shall I just send him some lettuce? Last night the girl friend of the boy who drove me up here got me a date, and we all went out to the Embassy club for dining and dancing. It was an highly satisfactory evening - the best blind date I ever had, and the Embassy was certainly a desirable setting,. Get the picture - a large, log-built, rich man's hunting lodge, now a road house, located about ten miles out from town, nestled in among the hills and snow covered pine trees; a huge fireplace of burning logs, trophies on the wall, juicy steak with french fries, soft music, a pretty girl - well I'm running out of paper. Much love, Nile
