Dear Helen & Bill - I'm home from my trip & it was simply delightful.  Just had a letter from Grunde & am wondering if you'll be home when he comes to visit you on May 17 to 22.  He'll be here from 22 to 26 -- I plan on coming up your way about June 1st or so -- going to K-7 [?] then up to Seattle & into Canada for a few days.  Vera is fine now.  When's your trip to Europe?  Thought it was in May.  Let me know.  Love H.
