My eye is very much better but I am keeping  up the medicine. It has been quite cold here, almost cold enough for frost. I have quite a comfortable little room here, and as the room is small I am permitted to use another one for my work for which I am grateful. They have a good cook here, not quite as good as the French cook you had, but she does very well, and the food is always bountiful.

I am very glad Miss Mioly and Miss Spofford visit you. The garden must be beautiful now and I wish I were home to see it. The hills and valleys around here are splotched with a brilliant red from the red-bud trees. It is a beautiful sight. The grounds outside of town are covered with flowers of almost every color. Spring is more backward here than in W. 

It was very good of Mrs. Larrabee to give you a drive, you need the outdoor exercise. I wish you would get Peck to drive you out, once a week anyway when it is pleasant. Don't always go to the speedway, take your drives through the Rock Creek Park.

I am sorry Jane is so upset by the queer remarks of that voodu doctor. I hope she will get over that foolishness by that is something that is hard for such people to overcome.

It is near noon now and I must close as the cook wants the dining table which I am using just now to write my letter on.

Will write again. Remember me to the Parsons.

Affly,
