<\/a>!934 DeSoto<\/p><\/div> Actually it was not necessary for Julius to vouch for me [for papers to come to the United States]. Anybody else could have signed the papers. But I still am thankful to him that he did it. <\/p>\n I do not look forward to going to court again next Tuesday [in the divorce between Trudel’s Aunt Henny and Uncle Julius]. <\/p>\n Trudel<\/p><\/div>If I get mother’s jet dress I will probably make an evening jacket out of it. That is very stylish here now, with a little cap from the same material. You probably think, What worries does she have? But it makes such a difference if one is dressed well here. Not only that it makes one feel better. <\/p>\n Today I made myself a real pretty little hat from the left overs of my blue housecoat. It happens to match exactly the color of a cheap dress I bought last week. I also made a green hat to match another cheap dress I bought. So I have now 6 hats and I will make myself a black velvet cap. <\/p>\n Yesterday I got a new customer. The black girl who cleans my room. She saw me working on a hat and asked me to make it for her in brown.<\/p>\n I cannot make up my mind what to do about my room. Some people say I have to get out of this neighborhood as soon as possible while others agree that I live in my room which I like and don\u2019t bother about the neighborhood. And it is so convenient to go where ever I want. <\/p>\n It is now Saturday at 9:00 p.m. Leonard has some work to do so we came here to the office in the pouring rain. <\/p>\n Max Reinhardt and cast on the set of a production of Midsummer Nights Dream<\/p><\/div>Last night we were again together with the portrait painter and his wife. They have a car very similar to Lu\u2019s only it is a DeSoto. As usual first dinner then a so-so movie and a cup of coffee afterwards. He had trouble finding a place to park so a policeman just put the sign \u201cno parking\u201d away. It\u2019s good to have friends everywhere. Next Saturday the four of us want to see a \u201cMidSummer Night’s Dream\u201d under the direction of Max Reinhardt.<\/p>\n I finally talked to Aunt Fanny and made a date with her for next Tuesday. At work we were very busy this past week. Another company worked in our place and I do not know why. I helped them there. <\/p>\n I pretended not to understand any English and heard them talk about me. One said that I was very slow–so what else is new. And then another said I did such very good work. That is much more important to me. <\/p>\n One of the ladies from the other company asked me for my address and phone number. They are not sure if they are coming back to work with us next week and she would like me to come to work for them. I was really surprised that she picked me from 8 other girls who work much faster than I but it proved to me that I know something, even if they cannot use me [next week]. <\/p>\n Otherwise there is not much to tell, except that a brother of Julius Seckbach was run over by a car and died on the way to the hospital. It happened on the day when Rose and her husband were going to celebrate their 10th wedding anniversary. Of course that was canceled. After all he was her husband\u2019s brother. <\/p>\n Did I tell you that Henny insulted her sister in law very much and nobody could convince her to apologize until several weeks later. The day before I moved out she finally called her and asked Rose to forgive her. Actually I had on Opa\u2019s insistence planned to rent a room from Rose, but because those 2 were feuding I did not do it. Just as well. But I am glad they made up.
\nThe friendship between Hamburgers and Aunt Henny is not too strong and Julius is with them like with most nice people – broges<\/em> [angry, upset]. Henny had mostly business affairs with them. Between Leonard and them is also only more acquaintances than friendship. <\/p>\nIt makes such a difference if one is dressed well here.<\/h1>\n
