“My dear Ella, It certainly had occurred to me, from constantly seeing you at Church, that you must be a little better, and that at any rate there was a hope that you would not be confined to your bed much longer - but ideas take a long time in getting into my mind. If (my mind) is like some grand building (say the Taylor Building or the New Museum) with a careful porter at the door - and ideas have no chance of getting in unless with good introductions. Now when will you come? We have a college meeting at 1 1/2 today, but not likely it will be over by 3 . . . If it is over by 3, it will be; and if it isn’t it won’t be. That’s logic (This is a quotation - from Aliom’s History of Europe? or some such name - but I dare say you don’t read books).
