Blackwell Family Alice Stone Blackwell Blackwell, EmmaEast Orange May 25, 1905 Dear Alice, We are in the last day of our stay here- Mrs. King takes possession of all our cosy corners on Saturday. [Leovina?], Anna and I go tomorrow. George will stay over to install Mrs. King and give her the keys, and next week we go to The Vineyard for ten days more or less, to return to Gardner and let Miss Danforth have her vacation begin on June 14th. If convenient to you, we should like to spend MondayEmma four days from Aunt Emily, during which she told me a lot about the hard early times of the N.Y. Infirmary - very interesting: a great many little things that one does not get in the published reports. I must try hard to live up to my aunts, but never expect to be able to do it. Aunt Ey is not at York, + finds it rather cold, but pleasant. Papa is addressing suffrage conventions in Vt. + N. H. I have been speechifying at a peace lunch given in honor of Napoleon Bonaparte Wyse, a great grand nephew of Napoleon: also at Boston University Convocation with considerable applause. Very busy get getting readynight with you. George, Anna and I, preparatory to going to the Vineyard on Tuesday. Leovina will probably spend the night in Fitchburg, with her cousins as she did before, and join us on the boat - she taking it at New Bedford and we at Woods Hall. She will not in any case be with us at Boston. 5 P.M. There is no time to say more Please send a card to Gardner to say yes or no. Yours always very affectionately Emma. Dear Alice I expect to go direct to Boston Saturday - may arrive Saturday night or else Sunday morning. Don't let my coming put you out for if full I can get quarter with Howard - no news- as well - afy- Emz - 3 Park St. Boston, Mass. June 9, 1905 Dear Kitty: Here is a batch of family letters. Some of them have been delayed through being sent to Howard, + We had a pleasant visit of three or [*to start off for Oregon. Your aff. cousin, Alice Stone Blackwell.]
