Tetherwold, Thursday eveDearest Margaret
It was good to have your letter today, but we were sorry to know of the headahe on your first morning. Hope you have felt well today and able to take Baby Dear out this morning all by yourself. And also that you could see the Dr this P.M. It has been a lovely day here - one of the finest, and what a pity that Sunday & Monday could not have been such. But the College took the rainy days with good philosophy and made the best of them. Tuesday was fine for Commencement, as well as for you to go to N.Y.
I had a good time, very. My class was cordial and nice to me, and I enjoyed being with them, and knowing them better. And I took solid comfort in your room, even though lonesome because you were not there too. I had good neighbors and good food, and found the house an excellent place to stay. The last call you had was from Bertha Bidwell, who was at your table for lunch. I did not recognize the name at first, but gradually placed her, and at close of the meal I took her up to get your Republican, for which she was inquiring. The Dorothys were not there.
I'll tell you more about people and things when I see you. The address of Dr Fitch was first-class and every-body liked it. The lion of the alumnae was Dean Wallace who was honored with a new hood. I took the 2.30 car on Tuesday, and was home soon after four.
This afternoon came a tel call from the express office and we drove down after the little box. We had been quite discouraged about it, and if it had not turned up before I was going to speak to Miss Branch tonight. There was .40 to pay - too bad! Well the box was in Tiffany style and Mother hastened to get inside. The spoon is a tea, a large and heavy one, with your monogram & "June" but not Miss Close's. The spoon It is a New York souvenir, with Liberty & the torch for the handle end. We are glad it has come, and it shall safely rest in your upper drawer until you come home.
I am sorry to have Terese leaving on the 15th. It will be hard & disappointing for Vergie, and it is too bad for Allan not to have her to keep house for him.
Love to the dear folks. and to your dear self. while I go to your little bed under the moon.
