[D.W.M. (Dwight Whitney Morrow) The Shoreham - Washington, D.C.
February 10th [1931]
Dear Lucie --
You were good to send me the menu card of "The Painted Pig" party at Joseph Horne's. I wish that I could have been there and seen the children. Dwight and I are living here until the Senate session is over but I run home [New Jersey] almost every Sunday. Last Sunday Anne and Charles [Lindbergh] and the baby were in Englewood -- and I bathed the baby. What is there in Washington as much fun as that?
Ever sincerely,
Betty C.M.
[Elizabeth "Betty" Cutter Morrow, wife of Dwight, mother of Anne Morrow Lindbergh]

Notes: The Painted Pig, the first of five books written by Elizabeth Morrow, is a children's book published in 1930, based on Mexican folklore. Dwight was the Ambassador to Mexico from 1927-1930, after which he was elected as a Republican to the U.S. Senate from New Jersey. He served until his death on October 5, 1931. Joseph Horne was a regional department store headquartered in Pittsburgh which operated 1849-1994 when it morphed into Dillards → Lazarus → Macy's. The Shoreham Hotel opened in 1930, and is now ͢the Omni Shoreham, and is a member of Historic Hotels of America.
