My darling
My thoughts have been with you almost constantly all day. It is terribly hard to think of your feeling badly—sick and I not by your side to help you. I hope and pray that you are feeling much better to-day. I have been wanting to telephone you all day. But thought I had better wait until night.
Sometimes a cup of hot tea is bracing—preferably without cream. But I feel sure that you are going to soon be all right without much medicine.
I was happy to receive your letter this morning, I am afraid that you have been doing too much. You know that you are so full of energy—mentally and physically, that it is hard for you to play like a lady—and would break & fag out most men. This is not intended as a lecture.
9.30. p.m.
I stopped at the above point for dinner, BMB arrived. This has been a dreary rainy day. I went over to the Medical School to the Board Meeting at nine this morning, & was there was steadily all day excepting a visit to the President and lunch at the Willard with Morton L. Schwartz and Dr Sam Brown, Dean of Bellvue Medical School. We finish reading all records to-day—To-morrow we begin to vote. I hate it. I don’t mind promoting but I feel sorry for the fellow that is left.
BMB sends his love and says that he is flirting with every body until you come home. That you & Mrs. McAdoo started him on his career.
I don’t think it will be possible for me to get away before Saturday afternoon at two o’clock. The Board cannot complete its work before Saturday, at best, but I hope to finish that day.
I am have been trying to get you over the telephone since eight o’clock—It is good news that you are out because that mes means you are well enough to be out. But, I do want to have hear your voice. BMB is counting you & Gordon & Margaret making a visit at 1520—H. St. upon your return. He moves in town the first of October.
Will tell you all when I see you—Good-night, my darling. Keep well, my precious—
