Dearest Minnie, At last I have been out. The day was like summer and I took a drive in the Park which was lovely with every thing fairly rushing into bloom and tens of thousands of people out in all their Spring traversy. It tired me, but only to a proper extent and tomorrow I am to go again. I wonder whether you are having this heat at Bryn Mawr. It is fairly frustrating and the only consolation is that it cannot last as early as this. I have not told you yet of the invitation I have had to start about the middle of June for a yachting trip to Norway. Does not that sound cool and delightful? I hope that nothing will interfere with it, for I think I should enjoy it very much. The invitation is from our friend Mr. Johnston. Julia de Forest made a suggestion that I have been considering, that I should ask Dr. Kelly to go over and spend the month in London with me, just telling her that I wanted to go about there in a way I couldnGÇÖt do alone etc. etc., and that I of course would pay her expenses back. She thinks she would of course enjoy the time there, of course she is independent and would not be in the way and she is attractive and interesting. It seems to me the best suggestion so far. Let me know by return mail how it strikes you, as, if I decide to ask her, I must of course do it before I leave. While the yachting trip makes the time quite alone much shorter, this attack of the grippe leaving both Nicoline and myself not very strong probably, makes it seem a little more of a venture even to start off without anyone. My evening was broken up by a long visit from Mr. Lee on business, which left me too tired to write for some time. I hope you have had a restful Sunday. Lovingly yours, Mary E.G.
