Dear Sisters,<\/p>\n

After finishing my last letter we went to Gray\u2019s and showed homemade movies in their \u201cpenthouse\u201d on the roof of their home. Had a nice evening.<\/p>\n

[Continued 6\/2\/35]<\/p>\n

Sunday we had beautiful weather and we visited with [LJG’s daughter] Flora Mae. Afterwards we went to a very good movie: \u201cGoing to Town\u201d<\/a> with Mae West.

Monday night with I went with Aunt Henny to a movie show about her current business. Then we went for about an hour to Leonard\u2019s office.<\/p>\n

Tuesday at Samuels, met a Mr. Bartenstein, who will call you when he is in Germany the beginning of July for 2 weeks.<\/p>\n

Wednesday eve we met Henny in the office so the three of us could celebrate my first year in Chicago at the Chez Paree supper club. We had a very excellent meal, good wine, and 2 beautiful floor shows. Left past midnight. Hopefully we 3 can celebrate that anniversary together for many, many years to come.

Thursday \u2013 Decoration Day. Excellent dinner at Gwen and Eddy Bishop, then to Grays who have a fur business in the same building where they live. I tried on several silver fox scarves. Nothing for me! We were there from 5:00 until 10:00 p.m. Eddy drove us home. <\/p>\n

Friday \u2013 no work – holiday \u2013 we are not busy at all. Have to find money for Leonard\u2019s birthday July 4th.

Beautiful weather. Take several walks.<\/p>\n

Saturday morning breakfast downtown. Then starting this letter after talking to Gene Weil for \u00bd hour. <\/p>\n

Aunt Jenny has not been well for some time already. <\/p>\n

We went shopping with Flora Mae and her \u201ckinderfraulein\u201d who had come downtown. Then we went to see the movie \u201cG-Men.”<\/a> It was pretty good. <\/p>\n

Much mail this week. Doris, Hilde Meyer, Ernst Goldschmidt etc. <\/p>\n

Now I am hungry again. I have lost 12 lb. since I am here.<\/p>\n

Love,
\nTrudel

\nTrudel celebrated her life in Chicago for more than 70 more years. <\/p>\n

This is the first of the letters Trudel translated in a more abbreviated style. I wish she hadn’t thrown away the originals when she finished translating so that I could fill in details.<\/p>\n
