Dear Margaret -It is Saturday morning. & instead of going home today or yesterday. or the day before. I have packed my suit case. sent my parcel post bundle for [...]. & am going soon down to Aunt Marys till Monday. I have been rather homesick to go home but the letters have been cheerful telling me to stay. & Mary was going to feel that I had not visited her. & I had seen little of Marion, & concluded I should probably be glad if I stay. Allan & Vergie have been very sweet & dear. & Ruth is a precious little dear. & I have enjoyed much. & hope I shall be worth more to my family.
I have not written letters much except home. & I can not stop to see cousin Mary now. It was nice to think of you with Father & Auntie. & we shall be glad enough to have you for a few days later. Allan has gone to college for a little this morning. & is going to take me down to Aunt Marys before noon. He has his proof nearly read. & hopes to have his Register off his hands in a day or two. Ruths cold is nearly gone. & the rest are as usual. Vergie & I went shopping yesterday in the rain. She had numerous errands but mine was buying the handkerchief & looking at things.
I have a tale to tell you of my visit to an oculist at Allans insistance [sic], who oked my glasses & endorsed all Dr Clark is doing said "Trust him & do as he tells you." He said my right eye
s wereis all right - & the left one will probably last many years.Sunday morning. I am but just up. & it is almost half past nine. This weather is not nice but I think it does not rain this morning. Aunt Mary became ill yesterday I had the Dr last night. but I hope it is not serious. she cannot go with me to church three times today though. Marion & I shall go but I am not yet sure where. I shall be very glad to go home tomorrow[.]
Allan is coming to take me & my suitcase to the station for the 12 m. train. & Father is to meet me in Springfield - so well I am taken care of.
Love to you sweetheart. it seems a great while since I saw you -
