my Dear Annabel:
II am sorry that you are sick Of

fathers wish, I know, that you remain
there until you graduate. Put out of
your mind any such thought as run
ming away. You are too old for that
sort of thirg.
"As for this boy you frankly say
you are infatuated without 1t out.
In the first place, he is undoubtedly
just amusing himself, and in the Sec
ond, you are too young for that sort
of thing.
This Is a rather brief letter, as l
am up to my neck In work. My treas
ure of a stenographer left me to get
married and l haven't replaced her.
BE a good girl and study so as to
be a credit to the memory Of your
father.
Sincerely yours,
