May dear:
The official letter I will write
tomorrow. This is just a personal
letter to tell you that I am
more sorry than I can say that
the disagreeable publicity has to
greet you on the very day you
reached South Hadley. At best,
or worse, actively it will soon be
over: then it will slither its wran-
gling way through the tall grass
[2]
of South Hadley and elsewhere. I
should say that at this [?] Mr.
Skinner had to prove two things:
that he is a gentleman and that he
is a loss to any board of trustees
anywhere! As for Mr. Stackpole [??] he
should not be permitted to reside in
South Hadley: he should be obliged
to go to Boston where his so-called
work is,--even if it does interfere
with Mr. Harvey’s temperature!
Some people are highly charged
germ carriers. Mr. Stackpole is
[3]
that and more. So far as you and Mr. Hyde
and Mr. White can contain [??] the infectious [?]
spreading from him, it should be controllable. There
are conditions in the psychic world analogous
with those in the physical world and this
is one. I wish I could talk with you and
Harriet but I know how busy you are and
how little time there will be for either of you.
As Harriet has told you I felt an awful
chill [??] as the [?] of Patie’s [??] use of the imagina-
tion and old [????]. Miss Harriet was having
a good time anyway so far as I could see….not
so Elise at the end. She indulged in one first
rate scrimmage with Bill, and the results to
my impartial eye seemed a draw. Poor little
Bill, sawing [??] across us all, full of fears, and
with none of the [?] and joyousness of childhood!
...Nelson took Elizabeth & Bill up to [?] yesterday
afternoon and Elise trailed [?]. The big car was
in bad shape with a loose toppet [??] and some
other difficulties and [?] there were Saturday
afternoon. Tomorrow morning Mr. Dudley comes over
for a meeting at the house where the [?] petition
will be signed by 4 free leaders. [??] I’ll be glad
[in margin]
when that is over and done with one way or another! With love Jeannette
