My darling Grace, -
Here I am talking with you, while Mr Harvey's
room is in my possession, - he was away
at lunch so I have been alone as just
have finished your Tuesday and Wednesday
letters. That dream does not worry me in
the least and you must discard all such;
but always tell me when it relieves you.
If possible remove the cause of dreams, - do not
think of going to bed while your food is undigested
so please eat easily digested food when taking
a late lunch at night or even at dinner, etc.
Oh, I am pleased that you enjoyed Mae Van, - I
was so sure you would enjoy each other, -
She has had a most pure family influence
and her life proves it no doubt.
Do not change your room, but do as you
think best about taking in a roommate,
remember you would be a friend and
perhaps enjoy each other better if you
did not see one another continuously. Then
you could both look forward to your
visits together with greater pleasure.
Mae Van can certainly make you happy and
keep from getting homesick. - She has
been away a great deal and still holds
her individuality. - Talk to her about
Nettie, - but never fear about any
one ever coming between you and me.
Certainly you can form more of your
own home habits when you are
