My precious little Girl

Please forgive me for not writing you yesterday—but you know what my days are and I got back to such an accumulation of things that this is the first minute I have found.

I did have such a sweet visit and the memory of it will linger with me throughout the years—and I hated so to leave you Bless your precious heart you did every thing in the call—found Gertrude & Hunter there & all well—When we reached 1308—I found flowers everywhere—and the house looking so sweet.

“His Excellency” was so happy to have me, I said he loved you for all your care of & sweetness of to me—

Yesterday morning I had a long talk with CTG on the phone & I told him how furious I was the way you are being treated and he and I boiled together—He said he had written you a long letter the night before—and then he phoned me this morning again & told me of your letter to him

Of course he has told you everything in regard to his ideas—and I do hope you can follow them—He goes to Va. tomorrow & said he would try to see me before he left—Now what do you suppose? I found a long letter from Mrs. Converse asking—if she had a cablegram from Rolfe saying they will sail on the which will put them here by the also a letter from Will and as his wife in in the Hospital he will not be able to come.

All this is to tell you the plans of the family—So you will see that your coming will be no interference and that I will count on you for of your appointment I think you said the 14th—but can’t remember definitively—

I must stop & write Mrs House to thank her for the automobiles—Do let me know how you settle the “Hamburger affair” and tell me if there is anything in the world I can do for you—

A great big kiss—and a heart full of love—from

“Miss Ede”—


Tear this up on account of what I wrote about ...
