The Arrival of Kitty, I have hated drink.J Well, yesterday my trip brought me back to dear old Charlotte. It has grown so much that I just wouldn't have recognized it for the place where you and I spent our childhood days. When I got up town, the first thing that came to my ears was the familiar cry of the newsboy, Charlotte Observer, Morning Paper . From curiosity to see what was happening here, I bought one. To my astonishment and delight, it was full of the doings of members of the dear old Class of 'Twenty-Two, which by the way graduated exactly ten years ago yesterday. I know you will be interested to read about our classmates, and so I am sending the paper to you by this mail. Hope to see you next week in New York. Your friend MARIE HAGOOD
