today greatly refreshed me and I am feeling really better. Miss Avery said nothing ails me except that I am tired out and must rest.
You have no idea how exceedingly kind every body is to me. I had a great many callers yesterday and have had several today. I never realised the goodness and number of my friends till within a week or two and of course it makes me very happy- I may go to my classes tomorrow, but shall not study any to hurt me this week.

today quite a large bbl. of oranges and we are enjoying them very much.
I will write you again Saturday so that you will get it Monday. Meantime do not worry for there's nothing the matter with me at all.
I recd. a letter from dear little Gracie today. Kiss her for me a hundred times and tell her how happy it made me to get it when I was not feeling very well.
I have kept up so well during all the sickness that I ought to have a resting spell now.
Your loving
Mary
