Letter from Grace E. Hall to Clarence Edmonds Hemingway

February 25th .96 My Dearest I too seem always to shove your little chat off to the tired end of the day That combination headache that we own between us just traveled as fast as it could after it left you and reached me this afternoon I have been in its clutches ever since I have had a pleasant day -receiving many calls

I had an invitation to an art exhibit this afternoon and tickets sent me for the Manus[?] club Concert tonightneither of which did I attend Tomorrow is a very full day- I give a lesson at 9.30 then go and take mine of Madame then down town to practice with accompanist for the concert Take lunch with a friend - Mallinson coming in the afternoon + the theatre in the evening with another friend My white dress came today - an so relieved

Now, Sweetheart, must stop yawning I wonder if you think I am getting too gay - it is not taking my time from you, my own dear love - & would give it all up at anymoment for one of our blessed home evenings with [Sassh?] for chaperone. - I wonder which is right? my way or Georgianas. Of course you will say mine, but then you are not an impartial judge - I do so need a mother - Dear love,
