My own darling Sister

Aint I bad not to have written to you before this. I am afraid that I am a confirmed sinner as regards letter writing, or rather not writing letters.
I do hope that your eye is alright now, dearest and that you are not having much trouble to make up your work.Princeton is perfectly dead, as dead as if the holidays were still going on. The dance at the inn was piles of fun. I had as simply lovely time at it. The concert, which preceded it, was perfect. Susan Metcalf, a beautiful young woman, with an enchanting voice, sang exquisite songs, with feeling and artistic taste, hardly surpassed by anyone I have ever heard.
I hope that you are not being fashionable and trying to get the grippe. Please keep that germ at a polite distance Jetty. A Margaret and I had five callers this afternoon, two of them mine, and three of them her's. Sunday afternoon we are going to have callers together and have tea for them. This is the first Sunday, however, that they have come in any numbers. In fact I have had very few callers since you left.
I wish I could visit down South sometime in 1907, and have a verygay time like Mary W did in texas.Commander Peary gave a most thrilling stereopticon lecture Friday night. I went with a man slightly less thrilling than the lecture, that was Mr Basore. After the lecture we had music; Mr Kellog came around and sang too. I would love to write a long letter, but there is nothing to talk about. Please tell Flora that I really intend to write to her soon. Give my love to all the girls including the two dear new ones, and Miss C and A Balch. Tell them I am sorry that I could not find them when I was lost in BaltimoreLove inexpressible for darling Jetty from,


Margaret.
