Dearest -
What a perfectly awful day for you to have to go to Arlington — I am so worried and do hope those old wretches will have sense enough to postpone the ceremony -Please put on things to protect you and have some cover over your head - It was such fun seeing you yesterday - only I wanted so to stay and when we were talking about Tea this afternoon I forgot about Miss Woodrow's coming — and that Helen will have to be with her - I know you forgot this too - so suppose we will have to wait until tomorrow after all. Does absence make the heart grow fonder? If it does no wonder Bishop Bones has such a time making us be sensible when we are together.
I am wondering what you did last night if you went to the Theatre? I have looked all through the paper and find no mention ofitanything you did - but was cheered to see that 2 ladies kissed your hand yesterday - which you failed to mention when I was there.Oh! dear — I had thought I would stay in bed this morning (where I am now writing) but old Mr. W. has just phoned he will be here at 9 30 so I must stop and get dressed.
I love you my precious Woodrow- and want so to see you.
Always your own,
Edith
Your sisters letter is sweet - and I appreciate all she said.
