were in for a bad winter, don't you think so? I don't remember that
even Glens Falls started quite as cold as this even. Don't worry about
us though, for we can get along nicely as far as clothing goes until
you come, which I hope will be soon, for I am beginning to get most
impatient to see my Mumsey and also my " Pumsey" if I only could. I
hope his cold is much much better by now please tell him for me, and

He brought over to see us yesterday a Dr. Wilder who's here investigating this treatment from the Mayo Brothers and he was enthusiastic about my progress the way everybody is.
Remember those letters you forwarded on to me the other day, well
three of them were from girls who said they wanted me to know how much
they loved my stories and letter in the St. Nicholas and thought they
would like to know me and for me to write to them etc. Did you ever? I was so surprised when I kept opening one right after the other and they all said the same thing. Of course I don't really want to keep up a corrospondence with them, but again I didn't want them to think I was altogether
