THE WARSAW
SALT BATHS
WARSAW, N. Y.
Warsaw, N.Y., June 27. 1895
My Dear Fanny:-
I was so glad to hear from you again. Am sorry you are not well but am glad to hear of your joy in store. I hope you will get along nicely. After it is over. I think I must come and see the youngster. I love babies especially yours I must find out how to reach you–the Erie road and Buffalo–Rochester and Pittsburgh run through this place–
I surely will come for a day or two. I am so anxious to see Louise. We are quite free here now. I am sitting in my office on the fourth floor. Hasve just beengiving electricity–I like the position–for many reasons I do not have the great responsibility that I had in private practice–but is cripples one to a certain extent–it summed to be the open door where I came and I do not regret it
“For all is right that seems most wrong–
If is be his sweet will”
We have chapel exercises every morning at nine

And in many ways it is an ideal Christan home.
My salary is not as large as I could wish–when I think how long it is since I graduated I ought to be rich–or at least comfortable–but living in a village was a detriment to begin with. I had Earl with me for four days the first of the month. He is a lovely boy. Tall and strong he played two evening on his violin–I was so glad to have him with me.
I do not that Dr. Wilson and I will make a match. I do not wish a physician + perhaps he is of the same mind–but he is nice
I regret I didn’t meet the merchant in Oswego Is it too late do you think now?--I am I think a confirmed spinster but one cannot be too sure–as the saying is. there is nofool like an old one.
I know had so many love affairs that I begin to think I am love proof now. Mrs. Packwood would like so much to see you + so would her sister.

Dr. Dickinson practices in Dansville Sanitorium. She took a course in New York on the throat + she does that work in Dansville
You might perhaps get a position through Dr. Park and I tell you that Mrs. Park was here with her son She is very lovely good enough for Dr. Park + that is the greatest compliment I could give her
I had a present yesterday from my two bath girls and nurse a nightingale robe. It is just what I wanted and so pretty.
Was nt it sweet of them? It touched my heart I can tell you.
I wish I could see you my dear girl. I am troubled about you having such a time with your stomach. Do you try Listerine or soda mints? Be careful of what you eat
Love to your mother + little Lousise–
Regards to your Husband + father
Yours ever
Louise
