Dearest Minnie, I am so very sorry to hear so bad a report of Miss Barrett and only hope it will prove less serious than they now expect. I am so distressed that a dreadful thing of that sort should have happened to you when one feels that you write ought to be shielded from dreadful things at least for a little while, but you were very sweet and very brave. I am very much relieved that she could be moved. Poor girl. Is she still perfectly conscious? I am so sorry that I shall not see you at Thanksgiving, but Mary writes that they want me to go there. So I shall miss you. Write me when you can, and do not send the list until you feel up to it. Give my love to Mamie. When I go to Ringwood, I can arrange probably at the same time if it is worthwhile to attempt to see any possible people to do it, either in N.Y. or Boston and shall certainly arrange to do this in regard to possible Gymnasium people, so send me any information Dr. James or any of your people give. Being with you at Bryn Mawr for a little while was a great pleasure, even when so much business and so much that was sad were [illegible] with it. Yours with love, Mary E.G.
