My Dear Clarence

I dont seem to have a thing to tell you tonight I had a good lesson this morning & this afternoon sang for some admiring girl friends at the boarding house and tonight I am all alone thinking of going to bed early.

This has been "no letter" day so tomorrow morning

Saturday & Sunday's messages will reach me no doubt. Thursday I am going out to Mt Vernon to spend the day and tomorrow afternoon. I shall be with Mae Van Schaick. I do wonder which of those pictures you will hate the least, they are both most unpleasant to me but will have some good ones taken later on. I do not believe having ones picture taken after three hours sleep; only

on top of great excitement is conducive to beauty; at least not "my" style of beauty. Write me just exactly when you expect to go on that vacation week. It is just the right thing. And send me all the tangled threads of worries to unravel. It is just what I am for; and I love to feel that you need me in some way.

With a loving goodnight kiss dear one, I must now close

Your Sunshine
