Helen Woodrow Bones to Jessie Woodrow Wilson Sayre

I wonder if by any chance the flowers which I had Hoover send for that anniversary on the 27th got there; or whether or not they were frozen when they did reach you. Idiot that I am, I quite forgot to write that they were being sent and for all I know “you all in Williamstown have to be notified by mail that you an express package has come for you and go after it!It was too bad Margie and Cousin A., etc., couldn't get there for the celebration, though Frank said there was another anniversary on the 29th (though and he was quite rude about my curiosity when I asked what that one was!), so they will be there for that one tonight I take it.Frank told me the good news about your coming down. Oh, you dear, sweet little girl, how glad I am! You will be such a comfort to your father, and just think how happy all of us shall be to be able to see your baby so soon after her arrival from heaven!I've been wondering if you wouldn't like your old room, honey. Its advantages over the rose room isare that these: It is, for some reason, lighter than the rose room; the little room next door is a little more shut off, so you wouldn't hear any extra crying that Baby might do; and the beds are the right kind. Of course you could have the small ones put into the rose room, but somehow my room (yours, rather) is more cozy. Your father couldn't possibly hear any noises in his room from yours, and you would be away from Margie'spractising. This rooom is noisy, but so is the rose room; anyhow, I want you to know that I should be only too happy to give you this back; it would be no sacrifice at all. You and Margaret may have settled the whole matter, but I know how you both would be about what you would consider inconveniencing me and I just want you to know that it wont be an inconvenience; if it were, I should love so to be inconvenienced!It was so good to see Frank! I still consider him absolutely satisfactory, but you mustn't on any account tell him so, for I wouldn't make him conceited for the world. Though your father had to work the night Frank was here, it did him good to see his rah-rah son and have news of his (I can't for the life of me remember what Frank called you, in that letter to Nell!) oh yes—high-falutin! daughter. I think Frank must have told you your father looks well. As I said before, I almost wish he weren't so well; then he might go away to rest. Frank tried to get him to say he would go to Williamstown, but I am afraid he didn't promise.Mr. Brown has just been here, arriving yesterday in time to play golf and beating both your father and the doctor.
