p.

so still. Mae Van dressed me &
came home with me at my earnest
pleading, she is now setting making
a pen and ink sketch of me while
I write to you - Every one says I am
beautiful tonight, so I suppose it is
so. I know I should be in your
eyes. Your loving telegraph message
came this afternoon, what a thoughtful
sweet thing to do, so like you - my
own love - Well, my back is beginning
to ache terrible - I wish she would
get through drawing me. Oh - Madam
Caffian was there tonight, and professed
to be fond of me - Then the whole
Hawkins family, Mrs Norrell & a friend,
The Russells, Uncle Sale, Mr. Bigelow,
who went with me to the theatre the other
night, Mr Chisenger & Heinrich Mein
with celebrated singers, The Misses Lathrop,
Miss Mae Van & friend and the
Fallows. This was my list of invited
guests. The Pandachs could not be
there - too bad - wasn't it? Well
