Summary
  • One of two letters on the same stationery and sent in the same envelope from Mascot (located in Buenos Aires) addressed to Billie and Nondas (located in Chicago, IL). Mascot is responding to their letters sent in January, but only recently received. In the letter to Nondas she initiates a conversation about the doll the girl received as a Christmas gift, and describes the doll that she herself received as a child. She encourages Nondas to embrace alternatives to toe dancing, which is quite expensive, noting the more interesting costumes worn in chacter [character] dancing, and even draws some in the letter. She suggests that Nondas learn dressmaking, and how to design her own costumes.
