She could not express her appreciation of it she said,04605 [2]and wanted to read it all over again, but I knew mother, who had gone home would be waiting for it, so I sent it on.You have taught us a great deal through the little story, and it is one I can not forget. If I could only have that gift of expressing my thoughts as you have done, how glad I would be!You may not have know that I am going to be there this winter, but on account of my serious trouble of indigestion I decided to stay in the mountains where I get along so much better, and fortunately I had the opportunity to teach some of the English and Mathematics in a girls school here which is surrounded by lovely people. It's rather lonesome tho some times.I wish so often to hear from Helen but I don not, I sincerely hope she is
