SaturdayMargaret dear:
The sun and the sea are shining as apparently they only shine at Annisquam. If you were here and Bertha I would feel utterly content. Somehow the hammocks seem Bertha's and the warm brightness calls for you and me to be swaying our manes in it. But it is well, I suppose, that we can't be together for we could n't go back to job[s] ever while this sunshine lasted.
I am staying as you advised till Monday. Of course Providence did a little teaching upon the advice.
fI was fearfully tired when we reached here Wednesday and yesterday the curse came and laid me very low. But all the luxuries staying abed seemed to have been effective for today I feel pretty fair again though my knees wobble more than ever. But another day really will set me up, I feel sure, unless I die of overeating meanwhile!Emily needless to say has been all things kind and gentle. We are amusing ourselves with the plan of founding a hospital here for indigent working girls which seems to my recent memories a crying need.
I am so glad you went to see Miss Hunt right away. I wanted you to for you would not let her get notions. [?] I think I never had a sweeter visit with her, nor with any of you for that matter. But I dare not dwell on your virtues - so I shall be able to contemplate Monday.
I go over over [sic] Saturday, Sunday, Monday in positively miserly fashion. I wonder if Dalmatia really has anything better than Tetherwold[.]
Dear love -
Laura
