November 21, 1929.Dear Miss Turner,
You have been very much in my thoughts these last days, since Edith sent you the cable about Miss Smith. I am so very sorry for you her friends there. Here it all seems to have been so peaceful and beautiful that one cannot but feel thankful. Edith will be writing you herself. She had a very happy little letter from Miss Smith written Sunday night, and Katie Wilcox's letter yesterday telling all about it was beautiful. It was such a great blessing that it happened then among friends rather than when she was alone. For Edith it has been very, very hard. She had so looked forward to showing Miss Smith her college and her India and had been planning all her trip with much love and care. My heart goes out to her, - and to you, Miss Turner.
Poor Miss Stokey has been having such a rotten time this week with rewrites or rheumatism in her right arm. It has been terribly painful & exhausting and depressing but has been getting better & is so much better today that she hopes to go to lab this afternoon. But it has put Christmas mail practically out of the question for her.
All goes well otherwise. The number of extra-academic and extra-collegiate activities has been tremendous for me this term but I'm fit and keep at the research pretty steadily.
Thank you very much for your good letter written early in October. The part about Congress I shared with Miss Stokey who appreciated it much. It must have been very thrilling. I'll write about the research when I'm in my lab with my data. Pulses now are not giving any trouble but blood pressures are - when the systolic comes in awfully faintly and when there seems to be no sharp change for the diostolic but a fading away of the sound over a long range. I thought it might be my ears but I've been to a specialist & they're perfectly O.K. More soon.
Very much love to you,
Eleanor.P.S. I sent a package from Miss Stokey & me about a fortnight ago.
