Item 2 - ALS from Lydia Keynes on Mayflower, Washington DC airmail paper, addressed to Lyn at 270 Mercer Street, Princeton, New Jersey.

Very busy and out of her wits with the heat. Maynard works even at mealtimes. Cambridge has had a few bombs here and there. People are kind there, but they don't have the peace of mind that they have when together on the island. She runs away to Tilton to recoup after the blitz is bad in London. Adds a PS saying she is shocked to hear about Virginia's death. No one could have done more than Leonard.
