unmixed pleasure, but I have been awfully glad to see the things. Yesterday we went to the Library, and I should never get tired of that. To me the building is perfect in every detail, and it all is most harmonious and satisfying.

we enjoyed that. I had telephoned Mrs. Baker before, and she asked me to come out to dinner last night. I had a lovely satisfactory visit with them. Mrs. B. seems well, and is the same as ever. I hardly knew the colonel as well, but I got used to him. A Capt. Ross who knew you in Manila was staying with them - He has recently purchased a little three-seated machine. After dinner he took Col. Baker and me for a drive and brought me home. The Bakers sent the [crossed out: loveli] most friendly messages to you both.

prize at our table, and I was only ten points behind. Katherine [Leech?] came in later. She is a girl I met Thanksgiving time --- the one who goes to Annapolis with Judge. I like her very much and am glad she came.

sixteenth. She has promised to come up to college Friday, and we shall go to West Point together for the hop Saturday. She is going with Dana Palmer, a brother-in-law, and I have written Harry Lewis. We can go with one of the college parties. Friday afternoon I shall give her a little tea to meet the girls. I am so glad she can come, for I like her immensely.
I have an awful fever blister on my mouth, which I hope will disappear before Saturday.
Tomorrow night we are going to the opera -- my first. I am prepared to enjoy it. It is in French, so I shall understand a little.
Most lovingly,
Harriett.
Clochette says to give you her love.
