Dear Dr Van Waters

I hope you got
home safe I was so happy to see
you; I did not have time to tell
you half, I wanted to say -
I went out to the Library, first
time I have been out at night
A gentle man - hearing my
English accent - came to talk
to me, he was from [?]
[?] North Hampshire England
He talked most of flowers
I ought to go to the Boston garden
he said it was beautiful
So much was talk - that I did
not even read the daily papers
I went to the address,
Miss Fitzgerald gave me, I
did not see any one
no one was home, will go
again today. I can talk
better than write,
