Dearest Minnie, This is only a line to say that I am trying to arrange to go on next week, if only for two or three days, but that it does not yet look probable. If I couldnGÇÖt get off before, how would it suit to have me go on on Friday morning and come back on Monday? I feel as if I ought to say no at once, but, as you are willing to leave it doubtful, I will. I will write you the moment I can tell definitely. I also want to thank you tonight for the GÇ£good auspiresGÇ¥ under which Kate McLane saw the College. She appreciated them very much and enjoyed her visit thoroughly. I enclose Mrs. Fisher (our landlady at Pitlockey)GÇÖs answer to my enquiries about the nursing school letter and postal you sent us. Of course we gave her no address at Callander, as we merely passed through it, and I fear they are hopelessly lost and will not come back to GÇ£the writerGÇ¥ IsnGÇÖt it too bad that Bessie should have had another threat of pneumonia, as she writes, in confidence, she has? Mary H. Carey told us a day or two ago that their father did not know of this last cold of BessieGÇÖs. I have heard Miss Davies twice, and was not impressed, although the classes went passably well. I hope Miss Harwell will soon be heard from again, and favorably, as she seemed much more promising than Mlle Thirion. You are not encouraging about Miss Stuart. I must close this dreadful scrawl. In haste, Yours, Mary E.G.
