[Oct. 3, 1911] Dearest - I forgot to put in the length I wanted my bloomers’ belt after all - I was going to measure it and forgot to - 25 inches Took my first lesson with Dr. Grigg’s this afternoon - he says he is very much pleased with any voice-range from low F to high C. He has given one Mrs. H.A.A Beach’s “Fairy Lullaby” to work on, and [right margin of page 1] No allowance [top margin of page 1] for lapping over. Has asked me to buy a book of certain exercises and another song. You didn’t say at what hotel Daddy is to stay in Minneapolis - did you forget to put it in. Cough still racking but not so frequent - that’s some improvement. Had a letter from Roger today - he’s had some sort of an operation - on his nose I believe same trouble that Margaret has - rather serious results: he had to leave college and come home. No time to write more now Muriel. POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y. 10-30 AM OCT 3 11 Mrs. B.O. Tilden 291 Westminster Road Brooklyn, N.Y.
