M. Carey Thomas writes that she has now received all Mary Garrett's recent letters and apologizes for accusing her of not writing. Thomas writes about enjoying Julia Ward Howe's lecture at Bryn Mawr and her surprise at finding Howe so enjoyable to spend time with. Thomas also comments that she is pessimistic about the upcoming medical school vote, especially as she doubts that Bessie will be able to make it due to ill health. Thomas writes that she is very happy about how her teaching has gone this year and hopes to focus on it more in the next year. Thomas asks Garrett to make sure to write to Mamie Gwinn as well, since she is equally involved in medical school and Bryn Mawr School business. Finally, Thomas writes about her recent social engagements and her tasks for the end of the academic year.
