Dear Joyce

The only days I am not free are:

Tuesday, December 2nd., (but only occupied in the evening;) Wednesday, December 3rd, (but only in the morning;) Thursday December 4th, evening; Wednesday December 10th all day;
Saturday December 13th all day; Monday and Tuesday, December 15th and 16th all day.¹

Dear Joyce

Now that you have heard from Trinity perhaps you may like to think of the drawing!
If so & you can fit in dates we hope you will both stay with us – we would try to keep you warm.
Love
