Tuesday evening Dec 17.
Dearest dad,
Four more days! Cans’t live till then? I don’t know whether I can or not but I’ll try to for your sake! I herely send you the check for my trunk which I intend to send ahead on Thursday so it will not be in the grand mix up that there will be at the station on Friday.
When you get the


trunk (it will come on Friday I suppose), sister has a key and can open it and take my clothes out so they will not get mussed but under no conditions must she open any of the little packages inside!!!
I haven’t time to write any more now, except that I think sister ought to take Eloise to the station when you go to meet me.


You know Mr Lyman always takes me when Eloise is going away or coming home.
Good bye now, honey. If I have time I’ll write again but this will probably be my last effusion for the present.
With Peggie’s love.


Plans to going home
Eloise Lyman
