Item 4: 6 p. w/env. Letter to Folks

Finally received the calendars she needed since the Turkish calendars are a bit difficult for her; having more maid trouble as "you hire them and will they or won't they show up", and they show up when you don't expect it; girl on the third floor of her apartment to have a wedding this evening; talks about how the home economics program there is always requesting more money but never seems to use what they have; they have excellent home ec. textbooks, but "it would not, however, occur to them to teach what is in the book;" her store room looks like a grocery store, "I buy like a drunken sailor when I can get to the P.X.; has rugs tucked under the doorways so the wind doesn't get in; described a wedding she had gone to and thought it was the most interesting one she'd ever been to; went to talk to old neighbor who suffered from a broken leg in a terrible car accident that killed a Turk, "At night had run into a stalled truck with no lights. He says he will never go out on the highways again."
