Dearest Mary, Aunty Hall is extremely ill - not expected to live - so it will be quite impossible for us to meet at her house. I have written to the Lafayette, on Broad St, near Walnut, only a few squares from the station. Will you come directly there. If I thought there were any chance of JuliaGÇÖs not meeting you I would meet you. Suppose, if she is not going to, you drop me a postal card Friday in time for the evening mail - otherwise I will assume that you and she will come to the hotel. I have written to her and to Miss McMurtie. I think we ought to have a little consultation after the latter leaves (by the way she can come this year) yet I hoped that you would have time to see the Water Colors again and our Moore. Unless Aunty Hal be even more ill I shall go to my lunch at 1 -+. She has been very ill so often that I do not think anything is so nice as her death could happen to her. Nothing new has taken place here, but we are aghast - before the misfortune of Miss GoddardGÇÖs measles. Mamie has never been exposed to it and may easily catch it - but our children! It means six weeks without Latin or Greek, does it not? Yours lovingly, Minnie C. Th.
