My dear Miss McCoy,

How very sweet of you to write to me so delightfully. Your leter [[letter]] made me wish very much I was back in Patchin Place - I should certainly be very tempted to venture to your stairs and call upon you as you sit entranced in delicate meditations with candles a your chimney piece - You later troubld [[troubled]] my mind into nary a way ward thought but you shold [[should]] not have alluded to the sale's girls at Macy's as "cattle" that was wrong of you, however limited they seemed to you. You should have remembered that they also belong to us unfortunates who
