Motto: It's not how long we live, but how. Dear Dad : I know it has been ages since I have written, but the Bedford Street Center has kept me very busy. I received a letter from President Roosevelt the other day stating conditions in the West Virginia Coal Districts. Therefore, I sup- pose I will go down there for a while. Oi yes! I saw Aunt Caroline at StrawbridgeIs and she said VVesttown was coming along as fast as ever. She also mentioned that there were more Demo- crats there now than in 193R-so I gnecs I left good influence behind, don't you think so Dad? For goodness sake!

I went to school at VVesttown in Pennsylvania, and gained lots of valuable experience. I was on the basket- ball varsity and in the Senior play and I play the piano very well. Now as to library experience, I have had a good deal because I worked in the school library for two years and I feel as though I know a good deal about it. Hoping the information has been helpful . . . yours, EMILY. ' 1 1-5-1.- .:.-- dA-ntu 5:- g... .5... . a - M-IK p---.. - 1111 111'- 1 '1n l 1- . 11 .
