Dorothy Potter's earlier visit to the big city (St. Louis) has given her ideas and much attitude; she has taken up with an older man with a kid somewhere. Nothing comes of this, of course, but it is a running theme in many of the following letters.
(The original of this letter is in pencil and much faded, this has been heavily enhanced (sharpened) to make it legible here. I don't usually do anything to the scans, but this one was too far gone for that policy to make sense. The odd speckled effect is an artifact of the sharpening process.)
