My dear, dear Eva,
We are certainly rejoicing over you prosperity, and feel that it is just the beginning of greater things to come to you.
Really dear, your letter had so much sunshine in it, that I told Will I felt like celebrating in honor of your happiness.
You can’t imagine just what it means to us to have you so happy.

The letter is unsigned and undated, but the handwriting is that of Will's wife Margaret. It's messier than her usual handwriting. So I imagine that she wrote it not terribly long before she went into labor. Baby Margaret was born on November 7, 1912, so I've given this letter a date of November 6. Will apparently sent it to Eva along with his letter of December 6:
1912-12-06 LETTER FROM WILL TO EVA
So probably he found it as he was going through Margaret's stuff after her death.

This suggests to me that Eva had just started teaching at the school in Philadelphia when Margaret wrote this, but I don't know.
