The Grove. Sunday-just after dinner

Dear Bob.

I did not write you last sunday did I? It was because Mr Chase and Frank came out saturday evening and we were all busy visiting with them. I am so glad you are coming home and so soon, and so sorry you are going to stay so short a time. We have not been over to Evanston yet. I was in hopes we should go while you were at home. I hope you have not forgotten that we like Mr Stinson (shells rather).

Your crocuses and snow-drops are in bloom and the Siberian Jquills[?] soon will be. Frank brought out

some beautiful flowers last evening. one and red camelia and one variagated one - two beautiful azalias - some other little flowers and a quantity of sweet, sweet mignonnette[?] that makes the whole room fragrant.

We expect Mr Chases two sons in a week or two probably to spend the winter summer with us.
