Rooms on Delaware plan-

to day.
I have met Dr. Marchouse [once]
[service] I cant bark on the street
She has not been to College. yet
Dr. Kamball. has been there
several days. her daughter
came with her once at [?tio]
hospital. (The beautiful daughter
you know).
How do you get on now a
day. with medicine I mean.
If I was through I would
do almost anything. You know
how I feel my dear dont you?
I appreciate now the anxiety
you felt last year I bother
-ed you to much forgive me
my dear. I'll never do so again
[Sl??le] is [?tere?] in all his
glory. Mr [?ohl] comes [?ecan??ally]
Mr Cooley still starts but is very
[courl???] with all. All are
kind. but I mind every thing
more. this year. than before.
There are three new ladies
Mip Johnston. Mrs [?p?agne] -(35 yrs)
