PS The Italian rail strike is over. I enjoyed your letter that came to the ship at Marseille and I hope he'll have another one for me. I got the Seville letter via Bob. No we didn't send a forwarding address to Seville as we didn't cancel. Couldn't do it in time to get our money back, so didn't bother.
The girl in Madrid was out of town (a friend of their former Scout leader). The dresses I got in Spain are for the children at 2 and 4 or so - dresses alike and a dress for the baby bought in Valencia and a dress from Madrid.
I don't think my sister will write the rest of her trip to England up. We loved Portugal and Spain, but the train schedules were too hectic to go any further. I'm glad we 'sold' Portugal to you.
The baby's nails are hard to trim and I just try to catch her when she's sitting still. I never thought it was THAT bad. My niece takes much longer to calm down than my children do. And when she's tired, only Momma can hold her -- no one else will do. I never had any trouble with bugs and the kids before (Ed note: I had written that she seemed to get a lot of bites of some kind out in the yard that made welts on her) Have you tried insect repellent?
Fleet Landing
Millie (remember her husband was killed when D was 3 weeks old) married 2 weeks ago to an engineer from Phila. Ruth is over here for a few weeks now too and she brought the news. The wife of the XO of HS3 (helicopters) dropped dead this week. I guess she had a heart attack. They are in their 40s I guess. No other real news,

I sent a lot of things with Bob and his bag was very heavy, whereas mine is much lighter. It was raining heavily when I left Marseilles.

Dear Mother,
Well I am in Paris. I had a nice night on the train with a whole compartment first class couchette to myself. It is chilly in Paris this morning. This evening I take the train to Nuremburg so I suppose I'll mail this at my sisters.
I am about to take the Cityrama Paris tour,
