one of the nicest notes I have ever had.

Mr Crowninshield asked if I would walk with him - refused.

Mr Evans came to the dinner last night. He is going back in a few weeks.

A good many people asked if I would be in this afternoon and I said "no," I really [[underline]] don't know [[/underline]] why.

Dear Mr Appleton,
[[strikethrough]] I hope you did not think I meant what I said the other day [[insertion]] about the bicycle party [[/insertion]]. I don't want you to think me any worse than I really am (that's quite bad enough) Of course we could not have our little spree. Think - if it were discovered! Horrors! [[/strikethrough]]

[[strikethrough]] Dear Mr Appleton,

Of course we can never have the bicycle ride, I see now how impossible it is in the city. Suppose I was [[underline]] discovered! [[/underline]][[/strikethrough]]

I want to tell you I have decided the party we were talking of last night is utterly and entirely [[underline]] out of the question [[/underline]] How I could for a moment have [[strikethrough]] imagined [[/strikethrough]] thought of it seriously I really don't see. Suppose I was discovered! Besides I think it might be wrong. [[strikethrough]] Think what would the world say! [[/strikethrough]] Please forget I ever mentioned the subject and Believe Me
Sincerely Yours
G. V.
