Dearest Lady

We all enjoyed the Follies so much and are so grateful to you. Jane Linn is full of a plan to stay in Paris next winter so I do not know what the outcome of her plans will be -- but at any rate she has seen the [best] place in which to study.

We are having a very pleasant [page 2] and uneventful voyage, the three classes are carefully separated [although] we have a tryst each day and talk over the rail. I think that they are afraid that the students steerage will be all too popular and cut into the others.

I do hope that you are not making such a long day as you did last Friday. You looked to me over tired -- and while I don't like to preach to the person who knows so much more than I, my experience in [page 3] convalescing is fairly large and I think how long and tedious it must be. I wish I could do something to make it easier instead of adding to your burdens whenever I come around.

I found two letters from Mary at the boat, she is better at last and was on her way to Rome. If the asthma, ↑in either case,↓ is no better she and Mary Linn will have to seek a health resort together -- they say, but alas I fear that climate has nothing to do with it. The [cherries] were fine and we are both grateful for them, thanking you for them & for thousand other kindnesses, I am always devotedly yours Jane Addams.
