letterhead 02108 1 New York June 19, 1896 My own dear Helen Oh Midge I'm awfully solemnly lonely homesick to see
you. It seems more than a year since I left home, so rumbled tumbled was the time on the railroad so hot chokey smoky dusty,
then besides there was so much bumping noise all night I couldnt sleep. But I had a good rest last night feel better this
morning. I hope to hear that mother continues to get better that you Wanda Mama grandma are well The Harvard solemnities
