Transcription
Dear Helen:
Your note reached me this morning, and I am glad to know that the new school and surroundings have already proved so attractive to you. I feel confident from what I hear from the most responsible persons on all sides that we could not have found a better school for you than Saint Mary's. I hope and believe that you will have a most successful and happy year there.
I received yesterday a telegram from your Sister Superior, asking if your trunk had been sent. To my surprise, I discovered that the janitor here at George Washington Hall was still holding it, and as he supposes under instructions from Mrs. Reilly, who had told him that she would let him know just when and how you wished it sent. He called up the express office at once and started the trunk on its way to Peekskill within an hour after the telegram was received. I hope that you will have received it long before this letter reached you, and that you have not been seriously inconvenienced by the delay. I have also authorized Sister Mary Antony to purchase for you whatever she deems necessary in the way of school uniform, etc.
Very sincerely yours,
