hateful letter this morning, so / am
going to write and ask your forgive
ness, dear. | was cross and wrote
things | ought not to have written. l
am sorry, dear, and l shall never feel
quite right about all this until you
write and say you forgive me. | was
Ill and did not realize what l was writ
ing, and then this morning m
gave my letters to papa before l was
down. I should not have had 1t posted
but it went long before l was awake.
l am very tired tonight, dear. 1 have
been helping mamma sew to-day. My
sister is making me a new white Peter
Pan suit, and l do get so tired having
it fitted, and then there are other
ried and tired. / new liked to have
dresses fitted. and now it is ten times
worse. Oh! Chester, you will never
know how glad l shall be when this
worry Is all over. I am making myself
Ill W it. Maybe there is NO use to
worry. but l do and I guess everyone
does. I am quite brave tonight, and
l always feel better after | write you,
Chester, 60 I hope you mind the hate
full things I say and l hope you won't
mind my writing SO much. Where do
you suppose we will be two weeks
from tonight? I wish you would write
and tell me, dear, all about your COM
ing. I am ,awfully afraid l can't go
to Hamilton. Chester.
Papa can't take me and am nerv
GUS about going alone. You see I
would have to ride quite a distance
before l could take the train and then
there is a long wait. and, Chester, I
am getting awfully sensitive. II I
can't go up there what shall I do? Do
you think it would be wise to come
back there? Could you come to Der
uyter and meet me? / have relatives
there, but perhaps I could arrange it
somehow. | was pleased yesterday
morning. You know l have a lot of
bed quilts-siX, / guess-and l was
asking mamma where they were and
saying l wished l had a dozen, when
my little sister said: "Just you and
omeone else will not need so many"
CT course my face got crimson and
the rest of the family roared. Mann
ma is so nice about fixing my dresses;
she has them all up now in nice shape.
You remember the white dress wore
and YOU once asked me why | didn't
have a new yoke. Well, she has al
most made a new dress out of that.
I am afraid the time will seem awfully
long before l sec you, Chester. l wish
YOU would always post your letters in
the morning after you write them or
the same night. They are a day later
here If you wait until noon. OF
course | will be glad to get them, only
/ dislike waiting for them.
Oh! dear, l do get so blue, Chester.
| Please don't wait until the last of the
week before you come. Can't you come
the first of the week? Chester, I need
you more than you think ! do. ! really
think it will be impossible for me to
stay here any longer than this week.
want to please you, but I think,
| Chester, 1t would be very unwise.
II l should stay here and anything
should happen l would always regret
it for your sake. You do not know
papa as well as l do, and l would not
like you to be disgraced here. We
have both suffered enough and
would rather go away quietly. In a
measure l will suffer n more, but
l will not complain If you will not get
cross and will come for me l must
close. Write me Wednesday night,
dear, and tell me what you think
about everything. Let's not leave all
our plans until the last moment, and,
above all. please write and say you
forgive me for that letter l sent you
