write you.  As yet I am not decided what I will do, or how long I will stay I must wait until after the birthday festival.

Yes the letter you enclosed was from Mrs McMillan, who sent the telegram.  It rains so that as yet I can't get out, the only fair day was the day I came ever since it has poured.

Dear Francis write me often, dear, it is the one great pleasure to know how you are - and how matters are with you.  I have had letters from Florence & Helen, Mrs Barnes-.  I will write all of them after the birthday & tell of the doings on that day.  The Misses Miller [[?]] are looking well, much improved.  When I see you I'll tell you some things that are curious.  I think Wilma will yet come out all right.  It is too bad that there has been such a prejudice against her, & her "laziness".  Miss Gay is very pleasant, & has been kept pretty well posted as to Washington matters by Miss Bradley.  I learn that Miss Bradley has been carrying very heavy burdens, there has been much trouble in the family no one is free.
Goodbye dear, Ever affly M.
