My dear Eva,
Thank you ever so much for your letter. I was very glad to have it. Will has gone away on a trip, so I am trying to write a few long overdue letters in his absence. He will be back tomorrow evening.
Margaret was delighted with Elizabeth and wants me to thank you for her. The package came while she was asleep and the next afternoon when I was putting her to sleep she wanted to know whether there would be another package for her when she awakened.
She had a happy birthday. Will was away, so she kept her packages until he came back in the evening and then opened them all - a new Big Eva, a telephone, carpet sweeper, locket + chain, “Just So Stories”, handkerchiefs, beads, paper dolls, + so on and some roses. I read to her tonight “The cat that walked by himself” and she literally listened open mouthed!
Will was very pleased with the picture you and Alma sent him. I think it is a very pretty one.
On Friday evening we went to a C.S. Lecture by Mr. Merritt at the Music Hall - such a large hall and there were a great many people there.
Will has the Buick in working order again + we went for a ride yesterday afternoon. It was a beautiful day. The weather has been splendid so warm and pleasant. Today it has turned much colder and we have the furnace going.
After much searching we have found a coat to match Margaret’s bonnet - dark green velvet - and after more searching, some light fluffy fur to go round the collar and cuffs, and a little piece on the bonnet + I think she looks very darling in it. I took the facing out of her blue bonnet, washed it + put it back and so the blue coat + bonnet look very nice. It has been so warm that she has been able to play out of doors nearly every day.
I am glad that you are getting so many pupils. It is best to be busy during the school time and then one feels justified in taking a good long holiday when the time comes - at least that is the way I used to feel.
I think you are wise to consider buying a piano. It is annoying to pay out money year after year and then have nothing to show for it.
Now here is something I intended asking you when you were here but somehow never did so. There are various articles in use here which I understand belong to you. Do you wish them still to be used? I do hope you understand how I mean this. If you would rather have the things stored I will readily do it, but it hardly seems right for me to be making use of your things without your request or consent. I trust you see my point.
Some of the fresh white curtains are already black and grimy - but they will not be much trouble to launder as they are so plain.
The trees around this house have at last shed their leaves and I am pleased!
I hope you will be able to come and visit us again. We all enjoyed having you very much. Margaret was very pleased with her letter. She has strung quite a long row of beads since you were here.
With much love from us all -
Kathleen
I intended to get in a fresh supply of ink + pens today but was prevented, hence the scrawl.
