Your box of books started this morning
My darling Jeannettie - I
have not known a really
happy moment since
the trustees took their
unexpected stand on
the Chinese question.
And now, with your
note showing how you
feel about it, I feel
[2]
just heart-sick. What I
care about most of
anything in the world,
is your well being -
just as I care
most about you. It
almost kills me to
think of being away
from you.
I know from
what Harriet said
the other night, that
[3]
she will live at the
house while I am
away, if you would
like to have her. It
seems to me by
far the best arrange-
ment, from every point
of view.
I had a
trying interview with
Mr. Caufling [??] this
afternoon about the
[4]
children, whom he wishes
at once, I had to
say that they could
not come go with him until August.
Give Arrow
and Lussie [??] birthday
hugs and say that I have
thought often of
them.
Good-night, Dar-
ling. Harriet is having
dinner at the Pounds’
in Holyoke.
[in margin]
Give Page my love.
If you say the word, I will say
I simply cannot go, Peddy
