Scope and content

Ise gives a little news about [Jonathan and Jeremy Pritchard] and mentions the hard winter they have been through. Mentions Walter [Gropius], his work on a prefabrication system, and his partner, Wachsman. Ise says America women have changed a great deal and now put as much effort into war work as they used to over make-up. The State Department is veiled in secrecy, she says, and nobody can tell them how long it will take before they will be awarded their citizenship. Mentions Ati Gropius and [Herbert?] Read.
