My Love:
I wish you were here. If I thought it would do any good I'd telegraph. Mrs. Summers
is mad that you didn't come.
Have just had lunch and had only a minute before our session at 2:00 PM. Everything going nicely. Mrs. Proctor came this morning. Mrs. Proctor is well, but the baby is not very well. Hotel is fine and meals are just right. If they hold it here next year you are to come.
Must stop.
Love unbounded,
Jack
