Feb 7, 1937
\nI think I need a secretary to help me catch up with my mail. <\/p>\n

Did you ever hear of man-made snow? We are having here in Chicago a big ski-jumping show <\/a>in the stadium. Since it is quite cold now but no snow, they made \u201cartificial\u201d snow. This is all in our big stadium in the middle of town!

I would like to go ice-skating some time, but our room is too small to have anything else (no matter how small) to put in. As Leonard says: \u201cWe have to step out of the room to change our minds.\u201d <\/p>\n

Last week we saw 2 German movies, \u201cGluckskinder,\u201d with Willy Fritsch and Lillian Harvey, very nice \u2013 and \u201cWeiber-Wirtschaft,\u201d playing in the Alps, very funny. <\/p>\n

I may go to Sumter S.C. [to see] Leonard\u2019s sister next May. Not definite yet.<\/p>\n

Love,
\nTrudel<\/p>\n
