My Dear Mrs. Eddy:

I am at home once more after a most pleasant journey across the continent. and just as glad (notwithstanding BostonEditorial Note: Boston, Massachusetts et ceteraAs Written:&c) as I always have been to get back to this beautiful Santa Clara valley glad to find the April showers and green grass of spring after the blighting frosts of IllinoisAs Written:Ill. It seems here one varied eternal life.

I found awaiting me receipts from the C.S. Association for membership and quarterly dues, but was greatly disappointed at not also finding my Certificate which I supposed would be sent at the same time.

I trust it will be here soon as it is important.

My work has been very successful since leaving the College. so that I have no fear in resuming my place here again.

I will be brief this time and hope for a reply at you earliest convenience.-

Most Sincerely Yours
Sue Ella Bradshaw.
