Dearest
My neck is so much better to-day that by to-morrow I hope to be able to wear a collar.
This afternoon the President, Miss E. and I went for a motor ride for two and a half hours. The warm weather has disappeared. It was uncomfortably cold in while riding in an open motor.
Your letter of came to-day and it made me very happy as all your dear writings do. I always read them over several and I don’t have any difficulty in reading them anymore. I love every word. I also had a nice letter from Mr. Ross, he has been good about writing to me. I had a nice note from Julia Brambilla to-day sympathizing over my illness—or better said—indisposition—I am going to lunch with them soon.
I have accepted a dinner invitation from the Grecian Minister, Coromulos for Sunday night at the Ritz. Nevin has certainly been fine all the time and proved true. He has done valuable work over here for America.
Wagner has been a comfort every day. Brooks is always looking out for me. Hoover is like his former self—the President trimed him down and it nearly killed Hoover for a month, and but did him good.
Joe Davies is here as an attorney for a Potash Company but the President will not see him. But directed him to go to see BMB .Moran—chief of the secret service has been on the job and done good work. The secret service men have been a credit to their department.
You cannot imagine has pleased I am with the watch you g sent me. It is so good looking. Every one admires it. But nothing ever gave me more genuine delight than those darling pictures of you and the boys. I go and literally stare at them three or four times a day and sometimes oftener.
I think my diary is much better than the first portion—the first trip.
When I return I shall enjoy reading it to you and correcting it together. Good-night, my dearest—Many kisses—and dear love to you and the boys—
