Train I will have small pair of opera glasses that were not done in time expressed you on the EMS although I fear they may be a nuisance, I do not doubt you did the best you could about the doubtful matter, but I should regret it dreadfully did it come to pass. I did not not understand the complication. Dearest Mary, it is half past four a.m. and I have not undressed all night I have been so busy correcting papers and arranging to exclude students, but I cannot go without saying goodbye and bon voyage and auf wiedersehen and all the appropriate things. It was nice to see you last Sunday which seems already months ago so many things have happened-- a dinner and twenty minutes talk with Matthew Arnold, a great deal of Mr. Childs and his wards the Miss Drexels, lots of visitors and a number of girls go abroad. Goodbye take the best care of yourself. My house of friendship cannot be said to be built upon a rock, can it? It is trod down and only 15 minutes since I began to write. Yours lovingly, Minnie C. Th. Saturday 4:30 a.m. Please send me your bankers address-- Mine is Brown, Shipley and Co. Later I have just heard from Mamie what you have done about the Jews and I am very much worried. I think you should have waited one day longer after my emphatic telegram. I should on no account take them and I register my strongest protest. The understanding was that Sadie Zoldl should be the last to whom my sympathies go out in their misfortunes of girlhood and delicate health, lack of training and overtopping enthusiasm. Our own girls have proved to me that we have three as brilliant students as I have ever met and for the rest-- the ocean looks very attractive. I am wholly opposed to the Jews and pleased with the algebra as half our own students failed on the paper. The corrections have just come, sent by Miss Scott by the pilot boat. I saw Dr. Da Costa and he told me it was Gǣsafe for me to go abroad for four months.Gǥ I saw him in time and the result I do not know. I cannot enter into details but I am afraid he is too far away to do much I am without hope and if it were not for my work I should not. Cannot your action be withdrawn? We should not risk all that we care for with the success of the school for such a thing and I think at least I should have been allowed to give my reasons if the children had to wait 3 weeks neither Julia nor I had voted. I wish to escape from them at all hazards. Will not you try to arrange it. It is so important.
