Margaret My Dear Little Girl
and her Good Mamma:
I arrived here last Sunday. Rode around on Monday, acquianting myself with what I left here. The next four days had ideal sun baths; one each day. None today. Too cold. When we rode over there was none at all on the sun board and very few cars parked on the ocean front. So we drove on down to Boco Raton. Had a lunch there and enjoyed it immensely. Of course I hope you all fared equally as well at home and I believe Leila will do her utmost as well as Arties, and that means good treatment. Came home at 5:25 and went to be immediately. Now have the best room I’ve had in this town in a long while. Write me how Harold’s doing. Lots of love to all
Devotedly, Your Father, W. W. B.
