User-Contributed Transcription Santa Barbara
Dec. 4, 1944.
Dear Miss Wyatt:
Thank you very much for your letter of Oct. 31st, for it expressed a real friendship, and then an envelope with a silver seal, which shall be inviolate until Christmas. I can't believe there will be a Christmas this year it has come on suddenly in this land without autumn or winter, where the months slip by like weeks elsewhere. But if we don't have seasons of the year we don't escape the ages of man, and I find myself having to accept old age with more rigor than I anticipated. In fact, we don't anticipate it at all, having one's legs give out in spite of regular exercise, and being dizzy most of the time, unless one is lying down, when there is enough blood circulating in the brain to keep it clear.
