Christmas plans

(1987? November 1)



What would you like [for Christmas], love? All I need is chewing gum, about a package a week, but not too stale and no sugar or fruit flavors. I think MM is giving quilts she made, a lasting gift. How can you be needing towels for the kitchen after all the towels she gave you last year? She said, "Towels for all over the house." ... What style tea kettle do you favor? singing or silent? enamel or aluminum? capacity? Dishtowels, like turkish? or flour sacks? or linen?
