Train to Bryn Mawr.  6:45 p.m. Friday  My Dear,    Your telegram came 5 min before I was to make the statement in the Board and I calmly said I had received and would deposit both yours and his checks. I saw him and told him that it really made me unhappy and spoiled the pleasure of my coming to see him, that he was not an old man and I did not think it suitable that if I could come to see him without his kissing me I would come; otherwise I could not. He took it very well and said GÇ£Well my dear if you dislike it I will not do so but there is no harm. All the same it shall be as you like.GÇ¥ I replied GÇ£then I may come without that.GÇ¥ He said Yes my dear and kissed me twice but he never shall again. He and Mrs. Care coming to drink tea tomorrow afternoon at 5 p.m. No letter of any sort from you.   I thought afterwards that you probably wished to give notice to Miss B and the teachers and wrote asking her to say nothing about it with special delivery stamp to her house but as a piece of thoughtlessness declaring it. I hope you will forgive me. I was so afraid the invitations might be delayed and the teachers have other engagements and I did it in the flash of a second and then after I had left on the train could not countermand it.   I am unwell to my great surprise and have been since 3 p.m. and it is now 6:45 p.m. in the train en route to Bryn Mawr. I arrive only at 7:15, have to cross the bridge to mail your letter and at 8 am due at HowellGÇÖs GÇ£In the ElevatorGÇ¥ given to raise the $49 for the green house. $30 worth of seats, with MamieGÇÖs and my contribution of $5 have been sold. So things are hopeful as far as it is concerned.   Nothing dreadful was done as Francis Cope and Philip Garrett were both safely in bed with colds. The Board was pleasant and very cordial. My arch enemy as affable as if he had never been [illegible] of all those remarks last month.   No letter from you at all this a.m. Why do you register so small- comparatively to all you have sent me unrequested, a check and perhaps a letter was without.   I think I have found you a type writer. As soon as her references come I can tell but she seems exactly what you want. A long series of 51 cents have been calling on me and the hopeful ones are to come Monday and Tuesday mornings.   Father was sweet today. Certainly in his relation to me he has not a fault; and the trouble he takes to carry out my wishes is very great. By forcing him to quarrel with and distrust Mr. Gilman I have taken away from him a great interest. After meeting the Trustees I waited in the station for Father, talked to him till 4:40 then took a hansom called on Mrs. Blair-- she was nice, I like her again-- and tried on my black velvet. I do not look as nice as Miss Eames but it is not unbecoming only too magnificent I fear.   I have changed my mind about the samples I now like these the best. Mamie prefers the purple-- which do you? The gray would be made up [illegible] velvets.   Goodbye my darling. Thanks so much for not going to Baltimore my dear.     I have found a lot of this paper; if you like it I will get envelopes to match.     [Included with the letter is the typed GÇ£Report of the Executive CommitteeGÇ¥ of Bryn Mawr College]
