Description |
A letter from Mrs. A. L. Robinson, 6312 Connecticut Avenue, to her son Ensign James Marshall Robinson, U.S.S. Concord, written on May 17, 1927. In the letter Mrs. Robinson discusses her excitement to see Marshall on the 30th or 31st, and recounts that Ginnie is living with her again. She talks about how Friday morning she decided to stay in bed late to keep warm but Puss came to invite her to a movie. After they rushed to get to a one-twenty showing at the Metropolitan they discovered it was a war picture called "The Better 'Ole." Mrs. Robinson said she wouldn't have gone if she had known it was a war movie, but that it was funny. Last night she went to the Ambassador, which is unusual for her to do. She also describes how Ginnie was suppossed to study twelve chapters of hygiene but is now sleeping. Lastly she recounts how she has shown some people some Haitian money which has been going on "adventures." People have accidentally tried to pass of the Haitian money as US money. See item # 500.23.
