I meant to see you yesterday, dear Elma, but a visitor came and hindered me. 380 Tomorrow I hope to carry out my purpose, and pray understand that if you do not see me, it is because my time has been used up by some one else. I meant to taquiner you for wasting your substance on my riotous living -- ambrosial cake for my palate, and slippers warm as kittens for my feet.
A rivederci,
