Dearest Mary, Your letter this morning - one from Mamie saying Dr. Hurd had found 2 lovely perfect gymnasts in Boston and Uncles James and Dr. Rhoads both of which you now have - I thought it was right after FridayGÇÖs meeting but I feel much relieved. All along I should have had much more faith if only Uncle James and Father had not seemed so blue. I must go to Thomson the first free moment prob on Wed and Thursday and Friday morning of next week if I can join you for Friday aft and Sat as I had a headache all last evening and all night through my sleep and today. I am very sure my eyes are very wrong. Now my dear I have a great favour to ask and one you must not deny me I want you to go with me to Thomson I have a case cured by Thomson that Neyes failed with and so many past [illegible] College goes. Please for my sake try - He is my devoted friend on acct of the no. of cases I have sent him and will try his best. He is a wonderful wonderful genius in this special thing of giving glasses. I want to be sure your headaches do not come from your glasses. Now is a chance with me and in this way you will not mend it and it is but a little thing to do if I beg for it as I do. You can come to B.M. on Tuesday and go in with me Wed. and we will try the 3 days and then amuse ourselves without reading and Sat. and Sund, prob at Atlantic City or New York. Leave all your things there so you can return. Keep your rooms but send away Miss Dalton. I am delighted about your maid, so glad you have her. Later have seen Uncle James. He says now he is sure it will all come right that he can begin to sleep again but he has as totally forgotten my cheque as if he had never promised it. Seriously think over Tuesday. Mamie would feel that it was quite right and it would open the way for us to be together afterwards the end of the week. Mrs. Fisher [illegible] - never, never can you go home to entertain her. You must not if you wish me to be fond of you. I have set my heart on your doing nothing imprudent from now till I have you to myself on the 13th. I meant that I really can spend three weeks with you I think of 4 I am not sure. I shall see David Scull tomorrow and will ask about Islesboro. I am standing up writing this in the station. My headache is better. I hate you to catch cold. Was it that Japanese wrapper again? Confess. Yes of course we must write a petition to the Board of Education and a letter to Mr. Morris. Dr. Hurd has found 2 gym teachers oh I told you that And I have found a French teacher And goodbye there is my train My heart beat at the sight of the Lafayette as always
