Text

Carina-
Shall it be at half past one o'c tomorrow, will a later hour suit you better. I shall not go out any day before 12, & then I must walk, if I can, for an hour & a half and we dress at three, so between half past one & three I could see you.

I was so torn today & so bothered that I did not know as my nephew says whether "I was on foot or horseback."

You will bring me Brett Harte? How does one obtain access to the Library? Do you know of any one who has L'Homme de Neige in the original? You can tell me these things tomorrow. It was a sweet pleasure to see you today. The perfume of you lingers still.

Your aff' attached C.C.
