My dear Miss Turner,
You are doubtless as busy as I am but certainly not so dirty. After spending an hour on my desk trying to unearth unanswered correspondence, I find myself, my hands, my clothes and my paper so grimy (does that word need an "e"?) that I do not know whether to write you this note or wait until to-morrow and try to unearth a new supply of paper which is in its proper place but involves labor to get. Only a word to-night of apology, and thanks for your trouble and a request if it is possible to give us rooms and bath in the faculty house will you engage them for us. I am thinking that possibly no one will want to lease rooms for so short a time, but if any are to be had we'll take good care of them. I shall write you again in a few days in regard to books.
Sincerely yours,
Lilian Welsh.
