Jean got a letter from Hazel. She said in it that she loved us two girls. That she hated to think we didn’t always live up to the standard we had set. She wondered if Jean and I were just as good friends as ever. She couldn’t imagine it being any other way. Jean stayed all night and she told me all this. We had such a nice long talk and I’m so much happier than I was.
