Dearest

Your little note tonight quite smites my heart. I don't know ↑why↓ it seemed impossible for me to put pen to paper for the first three days -- but it certainly did. I was in quite ↑a↓ fuss before my speeches and in quite a collapse afterward. Only during the last two days am I beginning to feel on my feet outside of the [page 2] speaking.

It would be heavenly if you would come to Lakewood. Evidently rest & climate is what is being prescribed for you. I wish that you were coming or else that I were going back for I don't like the notion of starting off still further.

We are going to the new theater tonight. I have visited four Settlements today and the headquarters of the W.T.U. League.

Always Dearie yrs J. A.
