User-Contributed Transcription Mrs. May Walden 420 West Bell Street, Box 853 Avon Park, Fla. I am glad you were pleased to have the pin and the dishtowels. I didn't make the holder. It is one of two that Mrs. Griffith knit for me. I don't use my eyes for fancy work any more for, as you say, it is harder on them than reading. I have heard Mother say that reading was harder on her eyes than needle work, so I guess the thing is hardest that you were least accustomed to when you began to learn to do anything. Thanks for the copies of P.M. but don't send any more. I get the news from Time and the New Masses and the Guardian, and people keep giving me books to read, so I have more than I can manage. I was glad to see what kind of a paper it is. Mrs. Shockley gave me H.G. Wells' The Fate of Man to read. Max ought to get it form the library. I recall how much he admires Wells. I sent Marvin a card, and he replied promptly with one that is very pretty, a trail through the pines.
