4 Dear Alice

6 I long to hear more of your plans and movements. In three weeks Mrs
7Molteno will be back, & you & Betty will be free to move where the
8spirit moves you. I hope Hellen is keeping better. It would make your
9heart so much lighter to know she was all right.

11 My friend Ruth Alexander is coming on Wednesday to spend a week at
12hotel here; & is coming to see me every day, which will be nice. The
13dear Purcells are coming on the 19th with Walter & Margaretha, to stay
14for a week at the Hotel; so I shall be quite dissipated.

16 Good night, dear.
17 Thine ever
