Dear Dr. Stearns:
Your letter certainly comforted me a great deal, for I was about to ask your permission to let me stay right here in Amherst during the vacation but was unable to put my proposal into words as not to have any misunderstanding. Now since you cannot have me this year, it turns out well for both sides; so I may say I am both sorry and glad of my not being with you this Christmas. Thank you for your kind anxiety; I am sure I shall have a good time; I shall meditate my ideal Christmas and dream it as a poet might do. If my stay in Amherst suits your wishes, please let me know.
If Miss Clemons is now back from Europe, I shall write her when vacation begins, but at present I am very busy and shall become busier every day from now on until Christmas holidays.
Mary, as you already know, wishes to pass her vacation with an old Abbot friend of hers, who lives in Springfield. This girl is one of those who made such a fuss at Marry’s [sic] transfer from Abbot. I met her once when her aunt together with her drove a distant cousin of mine from Springfield College to see me, for the aunt is my friend’s landlady, I think. From what I could see, they were nice people; and since you cannot have Marry [sic] in the house this year, it is just as wel1l for her to go to her friend's as to stay in her dormitory in college. This is my sug¬gestion, but, of course, you may have previous plans.
Recpectfully [sic] yours,
