One girl at our boarding house says that whereas legs were being worn in 1922 anything above the ankle is suddenly become indecent. That same young lady has promised to speak to her tailor, who she avers is the best in the Settlement, and to entreat him on my behalf. At this another lady did query: 'Go to; how much squeeze will you receive for this service—one new frock for every new customer?' But some of our sex, methinks, have descended from cats rather than ascended from monkeys and so I shall pay no attention to that unkind remark, Life in the metropolis, dear Parents, is not conducive to correspondence, it seems, but I shall not fail to keep you minutely informed of all that does befall.
Yours ever dutiful daughter,
