My darling Grace, -
At noon today your Friday night
and Saturday afternoon letters greeted me.
Your chosen proof was left with
the photographer this afternoon, - I
am sorry that it was the one with
the coat unbuttoned, but it is the
features and not the clothes that
you wish I am certain.-
I am so pleased that your Randall
cousins have proved so delightful, -
each new friend adds so much to
ones expansion in social circles and
self appreciation of all that is
good. Certainly you are wise, but it
is not an old head on youthful shoulders, -
you are surely more than excellent compared
