My dear old pal Dodie,

Thanks ever so much for your letter, which I have just received, the information it contains is really most surprising. Although you have often talked about getting a job, somehow I never believed you actually would, or that you would never be in a position to make such a step necessary. Poor old girl, I can quite understand how you felt when it came to the point, as usual, you acted quite wisely. You didn't tell me what the [word] is, was the work that you are doing. Please write & tell me.
