from my heart.
I was a little uneasy after you left thinking I should have spent more time with you than I did, but if you had been in your own little home like of old I have no doubt that I would have found time to call more frequently, do you ever think of those times? I am kept busy I joined the Young Womans League and two literature classes

Miss Wright is teacher of one, she knows Paul well and speaks very highly of him. Tell him I have read his latest book The Uncalled and think it fine.
I am making my home with a friend on Wayne Ave and have everything quite pleasant.
I see William as often as possible and I am always happy when with him.
I would like to see you very much.

Kindly remember me to Paul and his wife. how I would like to meet her.
A happy New Year to you all
With much love
your Friend
