is pretty well now. Day before yesterday Aunt Mary and Helen and I had a fine walk on the hills, Aunt Mary does not get tired as easily as when she first came.
I have not had a bit of trouble with my eyes since I have been wearing "goggles" and will be ready to learn some lessons when you come home.
When will you be home? I hope you will be here soon for we are a rather dull household and need you to keep us lively.

We went over to Aunt Margaret's last night, she
