Dearest One -
Of course you can come to me — but what is the matter? I feel so worried that anything should trouble you. May I ask one thing precious One - and that is that you ask Dr. Grayson to come up with you? I know he will have intuition enough not to stay - and it will look better if any one should see you - and it is also a protection to you -Don't think me foolish and know that my heart will wait for you - and be made happy by your coming — Of course you have told Helen to make some excuse for my not coming to dinner — and if you think it better for me to tell her over the phone - ask her to make some excuse about telling me about the car - and call me - and then I will give some reason why I can't come —Are you better - and more rested Bless your dear heart - what ever is troubling you - bring it to me and let me share it and try to help-
Your own,
Edith
