My Dear Susan-Val arrived safely
last evening, and I trust I can safely
promise to send her back to you in
good health and spirits.
If you will only stop trying to drive
the child, and will realize that Valerie
is a remarkable young woman. high
spirited, independent and beautiful and
utterly unamenable to sordid reasons
you would spare yourself endless trou-
BILE and the child much modification
and unhappiness.
Let her alone, is my earnest advice to
you.
She has not mentioned the impecun-
ious fellow Richard Fenton. you wrote
me of. but alludes frequently to an
artist friend whom she says is a genius.
10 my mind there is more danger in
tnat direction. 1 will get her to tell me
about him.
Again repeat and urge.let her alone.

NV Dear Allen-I sincerely wish you

guardian. 1 really don't see what use
there is OF a guardian If he does as
YOU do. lives shut UP in his country
house. while all sorts of things are nap
pening and undesirable men are trying
to marry Valerie-I know this is all
1umbled up, but really. am so pro-
Volxed with the child 7 don't know
what 1 am writing. What she means
by her senseless and erratic way of
going on. turning on all the nice men
whom the other girls are running a1ter,
then encouraging such impecunious fell
lows as Richard Fenton. going walking
with him and giving him most of her
dances at every cotilliOn and Laughing
at every hint or suggestion 1 make and
not following my advice at all, is more
than 1 can fathOm.
Everybody is beginning to talk about
the roses he sends her-Pd like to know
where he gets the means to order Amer
ican Beauties in New York-and his
outrageously pointed attentions. I am
exasperated to the last degree. and can
do absolutely nothing with the trouble
some child. told her plainly the other
day that with her looks and education
and wealth she certainly ought to
marry brilliantly, and that 1 disap-

She laughed and whistled to her dog
and went out of the house.
I said ] would write to you about her
silly and "outree" conduct, and remind
ed her of her fathers will. and that she
must do as you say about marriage I'M
til she is %. She blazed out that she
would not be dictated to by you or any
body on such matters. and that Dick
Fenton was worth much more than a
million dollars. If she were not my
