girls go back to college but think it would be pleasant for you to travel to New York with them. Do you know if Rebecca will go back. It will be a busy time to visit them in Washington wont it - i e if they are as busy as we generally are. I thought [...] would have said something about those girls being married if it was them. I wrote to [...] but he will probably get the letter tomorrow or next day. I shall look for postals every day now for a while. It is’nt quite two months since you started but it seems longer than any term at school and in about 20 days you will be at home. I suppose you hear from the girls dont you? I want to hear from them. Father hasnt been very well and grandmother is not very well, only a summer complaint.
Give my love & best wishes to May and the family. With lots of love
