as soon as I can today or tomorrow.

I am reading a fresh batch of page proof - I suppose it has been sent you, too. On page, 342, there is certainly a mistake in the spelling of the [[insert]] Omaha [[/insert]]word for 'New Jersey tea" - fa be'hi - We have said there is no [[underline]] f [[/underline]] in the language or I think this is the only word I recall meeting spelled with an [[underline]] f [[/underline]]. So I am sure there is a mistake.  Surely we could not so contradict ourselves. A different letter must be used to represent the sound of the first syllable fa. This is very important don't forget to write me about it.

Miss Freire-Marreco came back on Monday & telephoned from the station, came directly here & spent the evening. I asked her to dinner for tomorrow, Thursday. The Indian Commis asked her for the same evening, & last evening Mrs Valentine asked me if I would not come to her & dine with Miss F. M. there - As I did not know who to ask to balance my table, I have accepted.

But I must catch the mail.

Goodbye.  Write soon - Affly
M.
