Monday.
Dearest Gertrude
When Pater was with Grandma the other day she was full of a great, great secret. 420 I hope you have no objection to Mutter's knowing that secret and telling you of her deep desire that it may be the fulfilled beginning of new and very high joys to you and Charlie.
I am a good-for-nothing friend, too weary to be of use to any one else than Pater, and my sympathy is all fruitless. But I cherish for myself the happiness of being
Always your loving
Mutter.
