My dearest Marcet --
Your little clock has left the customs at last and is being sent you today by registered post.
I hope you will like it either to travel with or to stay at home with -- the works are supposed to be good ones.
I am still living with Mary Smith until my heart "compensates" properly but I go over to Hull-House almost every day and am steadily growing better.
I have been wanting to write you about something which ought not to go in the same letter with a "present" [although] you know that the two [page 2] have nothing to do with each other.
Our boys club have been getting together an Indian room, they did the ceiling themselves with old tribal symbols and it is all very nice.
I hoped you might be willing to lend your father's arrowhead collection to them. They have a long locked case in which to keep it and would label it
"Lent from the Indian collection of Dr. H. W. Haldeman of Girard Kansas" or any way you liked.
If the collection is in the barn at Cedarville perhaps Mary Fry would send it in, if you cared for the plan. [page 3] H.H. of course paying the express & handling.
The boys have been buying a few such things and would be really appreciative of such magnificent help.
If for any reason it seems best not to move the collection, it will of course be all right.
Do drop me a line to let me know how you all are it is a long time since I have heard.
