Letter from Cordelia Williams. She thanks God that the work for "your degree" is over. She tells them to slow down and have rest before they have a nervous breakdown. She immediately begins talking about a man she does not name, saying he is a "crook with a sick mind" who has done terrible things for the country. It appears to be about Richard Nixon. She also mentions that sickness and death seem to be all around. She talks about her plants. She mentions that the town may build a swimming pool, and can't think of any other news. She signs off with love and blessings.
