I arrived home safe and sound, without even meeting with the adventure of having a man follow me. Mr. Howard saw me into the cars and was very kind to me.

I received a hearty welcome at home though of course all were greatly surprised to see me. Mama was delighted to see me and was very glad I did not go to IpswichEditorial Note: Ipswich, Massachusetts under the circumstances. I have written there this morning and shall probably go Friday if nothing happens. I hope you will now put all unpleasant thoughts of the affair out of your mind as I shall do, for I assure you I did enjoy what time I did see you heartily, because I always enjoy being with you, even under unfavorable circumstances.

But remember, Mrs. Eddy, a better and far pleasanter time will soon be here, and you may yet be able to carry out your desired plans. Things more strange than that are happening every day. So do not be discouraged, but try to look on the brightest side of it. As I went to the station last night, I saw a cloud almost black it was so dense and it seemed to overspread the entire sky. But all its edges were tinged with a bright gold and presently they mastered the darkness and all was light & clear, where but a second before had been a dismal blackness. Just so shall our plans be and all will come right yet, all–all in five short weeks.

I trust you had a comfortable night and that you looked your handsomest this morning for your picture. Don't As Written: Dont trouble yourself or Mr. Smith to answer this, but whenever you do write you had better address it to 13 Montrose Ave. Roxbury, and if I am not there it will be forwarded. This, however, will be the most convenient for you.

Leaving the fourth page to fill with kisses and love I remain
