Helen Woodrow Bones to Jessie Woodrow Wilson Sayre

I've just telegraphed you that your father expects to arrive in Williamstown at four, o'clock, Saturday the first of May. Of course it is possible that he will have to give up the trip at the last minute, but I hardly think he will. I am just about to write to Mrs. Sayre and Miss Winter to prepare them: I'll telegraph them whatever happens, whether they we come or not.
It certainly will be beautiful to see you and Frank and the precious baby again and I think Mrs. Garfield is mighty sweet to include me in the invitation.
Thanks for sending the sample of flannel so promptly, dear. I am working on the flannel petticoats now. The doctor gave me quite a shock when he told Nellit she might have her baby within a month—that, too, a week ago.Nell seems to like Dr. Kelly so much and I am so relieved to have her provided at last with an obstetrician instead of a throat specialist that I don't much care what he is like! He at least answers her questions instead of making her feel she is being foolish and made to wonder why she feels one way or another.
How are you feeling, you sweet thing? I hope you are quite strong again. All here are well (except that Nell has a cold) and Margaret's mind is easier now her New York recital is off it. Mr. David was enthusiastic about it—said he had never heard her sing better—so now she will have more confidence in her ability to sing well at Syracuse. She worries so before her concerts that I don't see how she manages to do herself justice: she has lost twelve pounds in the past month! But I think she'll worry less from now on. She's well enough but just nervous. Isn't she a plucky little thing?!Now I must run. Lots of love, sweetie, from
