My Own Darling
Oh how I have longed for your soothing hand this evening, I went to bed about 8.30 P.M. with one of my worst headaches and have just wakened up, to find myself relieved, so shall now bid you a loving goodnight, undress and go to bed. Have much to say, but tomorrow is coming "Photoauf weiderschen"

Darling,I didn't because you said not, And Oh! I wanted to show them so much to Natalie, But went off and visited the "Art Student's League" with Mar & there I took her to a hair dressers and

Then in the afternoon I went to the "Rubenstein Club" after which Mr. Chapman made me go home with him to the Madison Ave Hotel & he talked an hour to me in the parlor about my voice and my prospects. He has gone daft over me, his wife also. Then I came home with that awful headache and longed, oh so cruelly for your loving sympathy.
Darling, do you know, I am jealous and who do you suppose of? Why that pillow. It is having altogether too good a time. But just wait till I get home, Miss Sunshine pillow and won't you go on the shelf and
