Dear Sister: City is very lively today due to election. Children have spent the day ringing bells, tooting horns, etc & box fires along the sidewalks. I am so busy all day no care to go out in the evenings. We have training on Tues nights at Harlem & on Thurs night at Bellevue Hospt. It is a way down town so we have to make a grand rush to get there in time. Hoping you are both well Sincerely C.M.F. | Lenox Ave & 136th St
