hateful letter this morning, so I am
going to write and ask your forgive
ness. dear. was cross and wrote
things / ought not to have written.
am sorry, dear, and shall never feel
quite right about all this until you
write and say you forgive me. i was
Ill and did not realize what was writ
ing, and then this morning mamma
gave my letters to papa before / was
down. I should not have had 1t posted
but 1t went long before was awake
/ am very tired tonight, dear. have
been helping mamma sew to-day. My
| sister Is making me new white Peter
Pan suit, and do get so tired having
| 1t fitted, and then there are othes
ried and tired. / never liked to have
dresses fitted, and now 1t is ten times
worse. Oh! Chester. you will never
know how glad l shall be when this
worry is all over. am making myself
Ill over 1t. Maybe there Is no use to
worry, but do and / guess everyone
does. / am quite brave tonight, and
! always feel better after l write you,
Chester. go hope you mind the hate
| full things say and I hope you won't
mind my writing so much. Where do
YOU suppose we will be two weeks
from tonight? wish you would write
and tell me, dear, all about your COM
ing. / am awfully afraid ] can't go
to Hamilton. Chester.
Papa can't take me and I am nerv-
GUS about going alone. You see I
would have to ride quite distance
| before could take the train and then
| there is a long wait, and, Chester, /
am getting awfully sensitive. If I
can't go up there what shall 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 lot of
bed quilts-six. / guess-and / was
asking mamma where they were and
Saying I wished had dozen, when
my little sister said: Just you and
someone 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 new dress out OF that.
| am afraid the time will seem awfully
long before see you, Chester. / wish
you would always post your letters In
the morning after you write them or
the same night. They are day later
here If you walt until noon. or
course will be glad to get them. only
/ dislike waiting for them.
Oh! dear, / 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 need
| YOU more thar you think do. l really
think 1t will be impossible for me to
stay here any longer than this week.
I want to please you, but / think.
Chester, 1t would be very unwise.
II I should stay here and anything
should happen / would always regret
| It for your sake. You do not know
papa as well as do, and ! would not
lika you to be disgraced here. We
have both suffered enough and
would rather go away quietly. In a
measure I will suffer the more, but
I will not complain If you will not get
cross and will come for me. i 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 sent you
