My Dear One,

This is Saturday night and I am very sleepy. I have been so happy all day at the thought of coming home to you so soon - You must get your little visit in, to Aunt Jo's before Easter. Tomorrow morning, I think I shall go to St. Bartholemews Church and in the afternoon shall go to Miss Randall's - but will find time to have our Sunday night Chat.

Lovingly Sunshine

Sunday Night March 8th 1896

My Dear Chris,

Went to St. Bartholomew's Church this morning, did not particularly enjoy it, and this afternoon went to the Randall's and then jumped in upon Mae Van just about 6 o'clock. I could only stay a few minutes, so we talked a blue streak and then she walked a few blocks with me to where I took the car. We always enjoy each other so much, - even for a few minutes. Tonight I am all alone. Have been reading lately - "The Gates Ajar" by Elizabeth Stuart Phelps - It is a most beautiful and touching little book - We had an awfully long chapter to read last night but a most helpful and beautiful passage. We shall soon be through the psalms. The 22nd of march finishes there. Suppose we take the Gospel of John, one chapter a night, after the psalms give out. Let me know if this place pleases

you. I have had no letter from you since Friday night 60 hours is a long time not to hear your dear voice; but, tomorrow morning will bring Thursday's & Friday's letters. I wrote to Jack & Carrie Kesler this afternoon neither of whom have written one since I left home. What of Harold? the naughty boy does not write me.

Now that duty really calls me home. I am as satisfied for it to be so, for we shall have an occasional day during the beautiful spring months to drive through the fairy forests and enjoy the spring together as we have never done before.

Goodnight - Your loving Grace.
