Charming letter to friends laid in, thanking them for a recent visit and gifts, meditating upon horses and show-riding, and most amusingly discussing her sister (?) Marg's plans to see Queen's November 1977 News of the World Tour show at New Haven's Veterans Memorial Coliseum and how she would pull neither Marg nor the band out of the rubble should the structure collapse due to decibel level infractions. Photos found from the gig confirm Freddy Mercury was wearing a black and white checkered outfit that night, which MacClintock might have approved of if only it had been stripes instead.
