My dear Uncle Harry-
Your delightfull
mailable wedding present
was received last night
& I am a thousand times
obliged to you. It
seems like Christmas
all the time lately, but
I can't quite feel
that I deserve all
these things. Your
advice about "getting mad"
is capital & I'm
going to read it to Tomwhen he comes tonight.
Last night he was
very late at the bank.
So I did not see
him. I think Elliot
is having a beautiful
time here this time.
His throat is not
troubling him & he has
decided not to see the
Dos. till after the
wedding, so he has
nothing to do but go
about the city sight
seeing & bicycling a
little & having a goodtime generally. It is a complete
change & rest for him & Florence
also is looking well, while Walter
spends nearly all of his time &
pennies feeding peanuts to the
animals in Central Park. He also
has a new pair of shoes & looks
as happy as a king. Thanking you
again dear Uncle Harry I am
your affectionate niece
Agnes.
