My dear Grandmother:

My only regret at being fortunate to start work after graduation is not having time to come home to see you and everyone. But I am coming to see you after all – all dressed up in the cap and gown I graduated in – in pictures. I would have written earlier but I wanted to send you the pictures. You can put them with the invitation as “keepsakes.” I wish that all of you could have been there. But I understood. I shall never forget it. And I imagine I shall need the memory as an inspiration in the long road of work ahead of me.

I started to work Monday and think I will like fine. It is all new however and I have lots to learn.

Atlanta is really down in Dixie and from all I’ve seen of the people I’ve met all I have ever heard of southern hospitality and chivalry is true more than Memphis. Men refuse to let women stand on street car in most instances. This was not true in Memphis.

Guess you have been enjoying Imogene’s visit. Wish I could see her and especially the baby. In fact I’d like to see everyone – wonder how the Homecoming came out.

If “Gone with the Wind” is ever returned I would appreciate your sending it to me.

Went over to see Lena [unsure of name] and family Sunday afternoon. I think Melba is visiting her mother now.

Give my regards to Miss Zettie and everyone.

Take care of yourself and I’ll be seeing you as soon as I have some time off.

Love – Evelyn

P.S. Ruth sends regards. She has asked me about everybody.
