Feb. 26, 1918Dear Miss Turner,
I am so ashamed not to have written you sooner. I did write a letter at the library the night I received your good letter; it was such a splendid letter and I did appreciate it so much. My letter did not sound very good somehow and I put it aside to copy, and consequently did not get it sent.
I took your letter over to an alumni meeting - of the Northern Calif. Association of Mount Holyoke Alumni - held at Mills College two weeks ago last saturday. [sic] Irma Gilbert read it before the association and they all appreciated it very much. Dr. Rhinehart welcomed us to Mills and talked about the war - in fact, we didn't talk of much else besides the "war" all afternoon. It was a beautiful afternoon that saturday [sic]; the campus at Mills is beautiful - and the hills around - Myrtie went over with me; we took our lunch and had such a good time. Irma Gilbert's sister is in her last year there and she took us up to her room and showed us the campus.
Dear Miss Turner, I love you; I think of you often, even if I do not write. I wish you could know how much that course in physiology you gave us, has meant to me. I have been so thankful for it so many times - and it seems as if I appreciate what you gave me more each year - the practical knowledge, the inspiration - and the pleasant memories.
I am not going to try to tell you about my work to-night, or I would not finish - I love it as much as ever; it gets more and more fascinating - some how when I think of telling you about it, I just want you here to go to classes with me & so I could show you everything and I would like some of my professors with you.
I want to thank you for that letter about the fire.
A world of love to you,
Myrnie.
