Dearest Mary Miss Potter was duly written to, and will I doubt not answer promptly as requested. We will send you her address to New York, as soon as it arrives. Can you not stop as you return just for a little while one two or three days just as it could be arranged or of course longer only I fear there is no such good luck. In any case I shall not be in Baltimore before the Xmas holidays. I feel strongly about Bessie CarrolGÇÖs German, especially so because Miss C. may hesitate to complain because of our taking her for a lower price. She took German lessons in the summer and dropped it only with the greatest reluctance on the understanding that it should be taken up after Xmas. Miss Andrews wrote to me about it, saying that she schedule should be arranged with a view to that. We had, I think, better ask Mr. Hemple to come twice a week for -+ of an hour additionally and put her in a class by herself. I think we should if possible let her at least try it without hesitating, as every one, teachers and the Carrolls, will, whether justly or not, think our hesitation was due to money. Will you girls consult about it and do what seems best - only if you decide in the negative please allow Mamie and me the present our arguments more at length. We promise in our circular 4 languages and without our fault one of the 4 languages is made a dead letter especially for B. Carroll on account of faulty classification. A friend of disorder arranged the present schedule. Mamie is still at work on it. Excuse very great haste. I have been in town canvassing trustees and have only time for a moments [sic] scrawl. I think we had, even for us, a very nice time last Sunday. I hope you are better. Yours lovingly, Minnie C. Th
