Dearest Peggy: 
You must come to see us at once ! We've got the sweetest 
little room for you in your favorite opal blue, overlooking the 
garden! But I'm not going to spoil your first impressions by 
saying another word. 
Jack and I are so delighted with our new little home that we 
use up all of our spare time going from room to room, trying 
all the doors and windows, and poking into every closet and 
corner. We feel just like eating it all; it looks so good. 
And then the outside! You cant imagine how lovely it is! 
It is brick, to be sure, but it isn’t just brick; they call it 
Ily-tex—funny name, isn't it! A fine young, manly fellow told 
us that it meant the standard of quality in brick and that his 
company made every kind of facing brick known. 
Well, he took all sorts of pains to help us select just the 
color-tones we wanted and then to have it laid up in varied 
shadings so that everything harmonized all around, the trees, the 
shrubbery, and everything. lie s a dear—Jack and 1 have 
nearly adopted him. 
I never knew before that brick coidd be so beauiifid. Ours 
is a rough sort of thing in dark reds and browns that seem to 
shade off into bronzes and greens and purples. You must just 
see it!—and in the sunlight! 
Lots of love to you —if you come to see us immediately! 
—and to your Mother; and don't ever forget Toodlcs! 
Always your
