My own darling

I have been exceedingly inconvenienced this morning by a very natural mistake of Mrs. Hightmans; she has shut the top of your desk and I can't get in! Will you please send me the key by the very first mail? I could have sworn that the duplicate key was in the basket on my bureau but it has disappeared. Could you have taken it?

I have spent half the morning ransacking the house for it, and now I have engagements with Mr. Thompson and others which makes it impossible for mye to write a real letter to my darling, — since this must go on the first mail. I enclose a card which the bearer wanted me to send you. — why I don't know. He came from New York to see you.

The weather is still superb. All well. Father very cheerful.

With love unspeakable.
Your little wife,
Eileen
