We saw Dr. Littlejohn and Clenmiie yesterday and both send their love. We are still in the English Department at the University of Paris and are enjoying it immensely. Had a letter from Maxine Wilson —a Mrs. now. Remember the successful young dentist?—he’s the one. She tells us that she saw Leona Reddick and Helen Marshall and they are working for John Robert Powers at his New York Agency.
