Dear Nell

I was awfully glad to receive your letter from Chicago this morning. I have been worrying about you and Faith as the weather has been so bad in the middle west and East—I turned Sherlock Holmes and after trying to telephone you at Chicago, without success, I telegraphed Pontiac Michigan & found that you had ordered the car shipped to Washington—This was very wise—I dont know your Washington address but am trying to find it. Consequently I send this to Charlottesville & hope it will reach you safely—I am writing the P.
M. at Charlottesville to make sure that you get this on arrival there.
Unhappily I cant do more than send this brief line today but will write very soon—Meantime please be assured of my love for you and dear Faith& of my earnest wish to be helpful always to you—I am sure the new “adventure” as you call it will have a happy consummation; and I hope that you both will always realize that I am at your side in spirit even though we are separated physically by so many miles—


Mac
