My dear,   It is 5 and I have just drunk a glass of sherry and eaten 4 biscuit (gluten that were bought for you the only ones in the house) that my tyrant forces me to drink twice a day. I have written and dictated letters all day long and again am tired. It is too bad to give you the fag end of the day, is it not? Without the excuse of sleeping but it is bec. it is a pleasure I suppose that I try to get all my business letters out of the way first. Well Father is not coming I send you his letter to show you both what Mr. Glenn thought and how he feels about my Trustees. I had already written him not to come on Tuesday. How absorbed he is in that nasty moody! I have written Uncle James today a long letter asking him to be present. As likely as not he will feel he too is too fond of me to be present which womanish reason I must forestall. And poor Dr. Rhoads cares so desperately about it that I doubt whether he can say much from his emotion. I do not believe you can realise how entirely electing me Pres. and Trustee will seem to my Board committing themselves to ultra wild liberalism but upon my word what else can they do. I do not see. They seem to me up a tree.    I am certainly better today. My larynx is no longer uncomfortable and my throat although sore is better. Yes up till yesterday my throat hurt me constantly culminating in the night and at 4 to 6 in the aft. There is not the least need for a specialist and if there were there is an excellent one who lives in B.M. and practices in Phila. Nor has there been any need. It is my exhaustion.    You can take the 10 A.M. main limited arriving Broad St 12:15 and the 12:45 for B.M. which will get you here for luncheon. This is the best the only other is the 11 arriving at 1:20 and connecting with the 1:45 for B.M. and in that case you would have to lunch on the train. I wonder if you had better come it will be so exhausting for you I cannot tell and perhaps seeing me so unsatisfactorily will tire you too. Of course if you come you must stay that is all right. Mamie knows I am writing to you about it. I donGÇÖt know whether I ought to let you come for the first thing is to get you rested and if I am up I shall not be fit for much, nor will you. I fully expect to be now. Perhaps next week if you were treated on Sat. we could spend Friday Sat and Sunday at Atlantic, as I am now going to do all I can to be strong again and you too it could not fail to help - and what was the no. of that room 227 was it or 226. Of course if Julia de Forest wished to come with you (as of course she would not) I should be delighted to have her to lunch and to spend the night but I forgot her ultra sentimentalism.   This is a horrid scrawl I am so sorry. Do just what you think about Friday I am only so afraid of its tiring you.   I am to stay in bed I believe till Friday luncheon Dr. Gerhard says - no you certainly cannot come and stay with me. Palutism will not permit that.    Goodnight my dear   The mail - Be careful and rest
