Dear Andrew and John,
Here's a short one just to say that I guess Tuesday's outing was a success. Ann was dressing the kids when I got home about twenty minutes to six. Five minutes later we were off and the Varsity was nice and empty but before we were served there was standing room. We gorged ourselves to the tune of $4.83, including tax; Ann and I on hamburger steak, french fries and peas with pie; Arlene, Mike and Kathy had cheeseburgers, served in wicker baskets, surrounded and covered with french fries and with a pickle on top and ice cream with cookies for desert. Stevie stayed on the high chair and I really mean on, only till the order was taken, then he was off and everywhere, eating everything. It doesn't sound like much, but we felt very full and satisfied. As it wasn't yet seven o'clock, I suggested to Ann that there was still something in the kitty and how about trying to find an Eagle Ice Cream Co. which someone had told us about and which we had never tried for financial reasons. We located it at 4709 Gwynn Oak Ave., easily reached by heading for Gwynn Oak Park and then continuing round toward town for another mile. You'll have to make it one of your stops on your return because it's delicious and not too expensive. A pint is 40c but a half gallon just $1.30. We were back in the house before 7:45 and after putting the little ones to bed Mommie went to the show - something with Ann Blyth -- and I fell asleep on the couch till she woke me near eleven. So, I am sure you'd say it was an enjoyable evening as far as we are concerned and many thanks.
Nothing in the mails for either of you. More the first of the week.
END OF LETTER
