October 6th.
_Dearest Daddy-Long-Legs_,
Yes, certainly I’ll come--at half-past four next Wednesday
afternoon. Of _course_ I can find the way. I’ve been in New York
three times and am not quite a baby. I can’t believe that I am
really going to see you--I’ve been just _thinking_ you so long that
it hardly seems as though you are a tangible flesh-and-blood person.
You are awfully good, Daddy, to bother yourself with me, when
you’re not strong. Take care and don’t catch cold. These fall rains
are very damp.
Affectionately,
