My dearest,
I failed to mention yesterday that Frances Noyes called to see me yesterday accompanied by a young lady whose name I cannot recall at this moment, she is anxious for me to help her get home, so I am planning to arrange it transportation for her aboard the George Washington and her friend. Otherwise, she would be ordered to Brest to await transportation home indefinitely and probably under very uncomfortable and uncongenial circumstances, so I am going to do my best to take care of her. She admires you th so that makes any inconvenience she may cause me a pleasure.
You can tell her mother that I promise she is being taken the best of care of and properly chaperoned.
To-night, I dined with Andy Long—he also had together with V. McCormick and BMB. There were three ladies present—far from being Spring Chickens—Mother—about sixty five—her married daughter about forty and another lady whose two sons were majors in the Army. We are teasing Long, saying that we are going to give him a party and introduce him to some young ladies.
I have tried to see Martha Taft but she is away—in Brussels, but will be back in a few days. Had a nice note from Mrs. Stetinius, but she is off sight seeing now. Have talked with her over the telephone. Love to the boys and dearest for
