30 March 1939


Dear Nannie,

I am in a Girl Scout Troup now and I am having a swell time. At Christmas time we made block prints in the Troup for Christmas cards.

On Easter Monday we are on duty at the white house, to find little lost children, from 9:00 till 1:00. After the Easter week we will camp over night in little cottages and cook our dinners out-of-doors.

In school we have a harmonica club. I can play the harmonica now. I have a $0.60 one. Last week Audrey and I went down town to have our pictures taken. I had mine taken in my long dress.

There is nothing else I can tell you about just now so I must say good bye.

Love,
Sibyl

P.S. I haven’t written you a letter in a long time so you might think this is just an “April fool.” (But is isn’t.)
On the Easter week-end mother and daddy are going to Philadelphia. Irene and George have just moved into a house and are going to have a party on Saturday night. It is a supper party. Audrey and I are going to stay over at Gaumnitz’s house over the week-end. We are going to be there on Easter Sunday too!

I am going to play a tow-piano piece on that Saturday in the Federation of Music clubs. I am going to wear my long dress to that too.

I got a very nice pair of ice skates with the money you sent for Christmas.

I wish you would come down to see us this spring, we would have loads of fun.

                                                     Love
                                                        Sibyl
