Dearest little Jessie

Your sweet letter came today and I don't believe I need to tell you that I'd just love to visit you and that at once; though and what's more I mean to do so unless Frank gets back unexpectedly soon. For Margie wants to go up first, leaving here to-morrow and spending to-morrow night in New York and on to Williamstown the next day—Tuesday. So, I'm going to put my visit off a few days, leaving here Friday, (unless Frank will return by that time) as Margie has to come back at the end of the week.
Oh, I'm so pleased to think of seeing you in your own little home! Aren't you a sweet little girl to want me! And in a week's time we ought to get a lot of things done—curtains made or didies hemmed, unless you've done all of the latter. I know you can't have finished the former, as you spoke of having them ahead of you.
Well, good-night, sweety. To-morrow you'll get word that either M. or I shall leave for Williamstown in the morning.
Standing on tip toe, I am

Your loving
Helen
