Thurs, 4-17-56 Dear Mother, Enclosed is the clipping that you asked me to send back, plus the TIME student subscription blank.
My B12 also [Emperium?] Codene #3 supply is running low, so if you could please send some, I'd appreciate it. When you get time, also throw into the package my pink dress (like Les' blue one) and the blue linen out fit with the white shoes and purse. When I get a chance, I will borrow a car and go up to Betty's to get my petticoats, etc. Maybe I can get them some night on a date, if we get up that far. The only time I've been up to the city this quarter was to an afternoon rehearsal with the symphony.
About a wedding present for Les. She wants something very practical, and I know she has been given quite a few things already. They are really starting from scratch though, so I will find out what she needs first. I'm invited over there for dinner some night, when its convenient to all of us.
On the floor of my room are two boxes which I will send to you soon. The brown suit, etc.
Lyn Brin was over this morning and we made mad plans for next year. Just 4 more months of this. This is the hardest quarter of all. Too many things, as usual, but all important ones.
I've got another permanent baby-sitting job. I show up at the Episcopal Church down the st. from St. Ann's on Sun. at 9:30 and get $5.00 for taking care of the 0 to 3yr. olds who are too young for Sun. school, but whose parents go to the family service. I still get paid if none show up and there has never in history been more than 5

It lasts until 10:45 and then I walk a couple of blocks to 11:00 mass at St. Ann's. A very convenient 5 bucks. My buddy who got me the bill-collecting job got this one for me.
Pam is just about ready to be censured. I'm sitting with the Tues. afternoon Terrors, Pam and Peter. I let her play with the hose, and after changing their already dirty clothes once, things were wet but peaceful until she decided to give the living-room the once-over wetly. I am now even more thoroughly convinced that cork tile is ideal. Anyway, the backyard will be nice and green. The drapes will dry too. These Eichler homes can really take it. At the moment, they're polishing off the last quart of milk.
Are you still having attacks of [Meniere's?] disease? I assume not, if you are able to fall off bar stools again, and come up laughing. If it's recurrent, as it says in the article, I assume that you don't do a great deal of driving. It's a shame that they don't have nice bars down there like they have up here. Of course, there's only one Rudy's. Liz hadn't been off her cane for a week when her two bartenders went out and got themselves hospitalized in a motorcycle accident. They moved one of the fellows from San Jose to the Pally hospital last Fri. The road from Rudy's to that hospital looks to be a well worn one. He'll be there for months.
I'm glad you're feeling well enough to send me cartoon and napkins from the Chi-Chi. My love to Daddy, Grandmother, Cookie and Destiny. Love, Marcia
