Home - 2 P.M. TuesdayI wonder if I can speak to you before anything happens tomorrow morning. We were too soon at the trolley so walked on some distance. & were here just about one, ready for dinner. We did have a good time with you if you were in a hospital bed - & with a temperature. & Father says I look a lot better than before I went I certainly feel so. but must insist that Father has an imagination Auntie was as glad to hear from you. & Mother will try not to look dreary at the anxious man across the table. We are so glad you have good courage darling. "In quietness & confidence shall be your strength". you know. & it may be true as you said that you will be better & stronger after the putting to rights & a good long rest. you will certainly be cheered by the many friends who love you. & you might never have really known, if you had kept on in the usual tracks.
I found a letter from Mrs Granvill[e] Sargent in the mail box. & she says of her grand daughter Marion "she thinks Miss Ball a wonderful person, & is so glad she could be in some of
yourher classes." - (This not because you are in a hospital). She also says Marion enjoys college very much. & thinks this year is going to be ever better than last. Mrs Sargent writes very pleasantly of her home & family, & we are glad to hear from her[.] I shall go to the club meeting with Auntie this P.M. & Father will have the time to vote.I do hope you will have a good rest this afternoon. & a good sleep tonight. You will enjoy your muse, [?] & time to think, & the new surroundings, & if you ever do feel lonely just whisper softly to yourself
The Lord is my Shepherd -
I am not sure that it will be best for us to go over to you tomorrow. It will depend somewhat on what we hear - but I know it will not be best for us to stay long if we go. & may we shall wait & go Thursday morning. But you will know we are thinking of you, good thought[s] strong thoughts - loving thoughts -
Bless you darling
Mother
