Evanston, IllMarch 3, 1941
So sorry I didn't write sooner But I just read your letter today. I was on my trip in the north woods and was gone for over 2 weeks.
It was very pleasant to see clean white snow & plenty of it. I almost forgot what Winter is like till I got there. We drove down with a couple young boys that work in Chicago & they were going home for the week end.
My brother & I went ice skating to the Colonial a indoor rink music there & good ice.
We also went to watch the skiers in Mt. Zion. It sure is high & they have a ski tow.
We didn't have skiis so we didnt go down. There were 40 people there from Chicago.
I called Bertha & I spose Ill see her soon.
Don't be surprised if we would come there but not quite yet - I hope you get something worth while - I mean in the line of work.
I stayed in the ________ for 4 days on my way back from ____ had a very nice time there too.
My trip was more social life than any other - Certainly is nice for a change.
The snow is all gone here too. raining today so it does look very dreary.
Sounds so impossible when you speak of flowers. I sure am glad you have a chance to see that part of the world. I hope I may someday too.
Write to me soon & I promise to be more prompt now that Im settled again.
As Ever,
from Gracie
