Dearest Minnie, Even if your letter had not come last night, this mail would have taken you a few lines, if not just these. Your letter reached me safely and I hope no one else had had any benefit from it, as it not only reached me unsealed, but apparently had never been sealed. The time it reached me is an answer to the suggestion about going into town. You were very good to think of it, but I could not have gone at any rate and I must say that even Coquelin does not make me feel like going to the theatre now. I am very glad you went and hope it was delightful, so delightful that it made you forget everything but the moment. I hope too that you saw Dr. Cushier. If so, please tell me just what she thought of GǣitGǥ and the desirability of its removal. I am so glad you are sleeping better and am very much pleased to hear of the numbers and that you are full, that the work seems to be paying in the sense of the material success of the college. I am sleeping much better thanks, and am gaining flesh again, so that the sleeves of my gowns are uncomfortable. I am sorry this is only a note, but hope to write again soon. Mamie very kindly asked me to go with them on Thursday night to see Coquelin. I spent it instead in the bed with a very unpleasant companion - one of my very worst headaches. I shall have to hear about Mr. Newell by letter and am very sorry there is anything to hear about him. Give my love to Mamie and tell her I was sorry not to see her again, but my headache broke up my arrangements generally for the next day as well as that evening. Hoping to hear again soon, Lovingly yours, Mary E.G.
