A H. 211 Thursday December 9, 1941 Cloudy with starry sky wind NW / SW x +12° That we are back in our Toy Forum - it - night I write in peace &y in comfort under a good light while all about me there is ---- silence; and I do listen with pleasure to the dispute going on outside between the hysterical wind and our spattering the steadfast little house. last night, I finished up the visiting I was doing for Jane and today I was cook x In order that we might leave the home well filled I prepared a very excellent dinner. The corned roast was fit for a king and we top put off with two kinds of dessert x I must not leave out the hot rolls and the cranberry sauce which did their part to make us happy. -Joe told me some new stories - true ones of course - and I laughed until I hurt inside of me. We did our best to persuade him to walk out with us after dinner and he really went so far as to put on his clothes and start with his Labrador whip but when the wind commenced to push and pull and be rough in general he lost heart and left us near The Point. Hal is worried over a slight dropical or puffed condition of his ankles. He noticed this only day after his trip to Nishi and expected it to go away after he had rested. But then seems 't be too cheap. It seems scarcely possible that any of us could have scurvy with the splendid diet we have.
