Transcription
My dear Dr. Stearns,
I am sorry that Mary kept you uncertain as to the trip to Europe.
I shall apologize for the little oversight on her part. I am sure that she did not understand the difficulties connected with such tasks as arrangement of steamship passages and passports.
She received your letter shortly after the news of the three deaths at home reached her, and consequently she did not feel very much disposed to answer her correspondance [sic]. She told me about it some time ago, and I took it for granted that she had already answered you until I received word from you to the contrary. She was very despondent at the time and had nothing else in mind but going home. I am sure she did not mean to cause you all the anxiety.
She said to me definitely that she does not wish to make the trip to Europe. It is not that she does not appreciate what Father intended for her, but she just couldn’t wait till she can go home.
As I wrote you in my last letter to you, Mary had written home making overtures to father about my going home with her this summer. In case if she succeeds, she plans to leave sometimes in the latter part of July or the first part of August, otherwise I think she will leave at the earliest possible moment. However, I shall ask her to write to you definitely concerning her plans.
Again, permit me to apologize for her.
Very sincerely yours
