My dear Edith:

I was really surprised when I got your letter. For this
reason, I had gived you up and that to you, Peggie, was a thing of the
past. Nevertheless, I was glad to get the letter and to know that you were
still in the land of the living.

You say that your sister has gone back to
Col. Springs. So by that, I should presume that she is better. I hope that
she is much better than she was and that you, yourself, will get well
and strong.

Now, I wonder if the thing you will tell me is that you are
going to be married. I hope so. For you know that you never can be strong
while you do nursing for a living and you are now old enough to settle down
and have a home of your own and I think that girls ought to marry and
make homes for themselves.

I have not heard from Mrs. E. since I was there
last Christmas. Mrs. Millard has not written for some time. I don't know
what is wrong with them all.

Did you ever get the letter I sent in answer
to your postal?

No, I have not heard of the kitchens nor stores that you
speak about. So you can tell me all about them when you write.
Things here go on in about the same way. I still like the people very
well. Those that you meet often ask about you. I have gotten to know
the Miller family very well and the longer I know them, the better I
like them.

I do not know how long we will be here, but one thing I do
know, and that is that I will hate to leave Cumberland.
