Dearest sweetest Margaret
I just got your sweet letter this minute and I am hastening to write so that you wont have to stay in for nothing.
I leave here at 8.00 and reach New York at ten. The meeting is 10.30, with lunch right there at Miss Dodges 262 Madison, and a second meeting afterwards, probably over at 3.30.
I'll call you up just after I reach the station, at a little after ten, and then we can make arrangements about seeing each other between 3.30 and 5 oclock train time. I can't take dinner there because Mary Scott is giving a goodbye shindig to Ruth Hall that night and I promised to be back.
I must see you if possible. I cant bear the idea, either, of being in New York without seeing you.
I'll tell you all I know about Watterson, but most of it is newspaper talk and so you know a lot already.
Well I want you to get this tomorrow early so good bye.
In haste but with a big heartful of love for my darling darling Miggie.
Devotedly
Jessie.
