Mr. J. H. Harris,
Ada O.
My Darling Joe: — In this still and lonely hr. I will talk with you a little while. I was so glad to know that you got home all right, and I know you have looking for a letter from me and wondering if I were getting careless so soon. I entered school Tues. but have not done much studying as yet. I have attended most of my classes but that is about all. But my eyes are much better and I think will be well as ever in a few days.
After you left I went to the Dr. and he said it was a “sore eye” which had been going around and was somewhat contagious. I believe you had a pretty good chance, so do not be frightened if you are troubled with the same, but I hope you will not be.
You wonder what I am doing up here at this late hr. when I am not able to study much. Mother was taken sick yesterday with rheumatism and has been quite restless this evening. She is now easier and I will retire soon.
We had our Open Session tonight. A lady came and stayed with Elsie and mother while Carrie and I attended. The hall was crowded and every one pronounced it a success which made us feel good. But I must say I felt so lonely without you ever since you left that I hardly [know] what to do with myself.
Ira went to Springfield this morning. Otterbein has not come home yet and we have heard nothing from him. We are somewhat uneasy, but hope he will be here all right in a few days. Dear Joe you need [not] worry about my “point” here at W. he has no charms at all since you left. I will hardly know what to do with myself if I can see you once a week.
I will not write more tonight but I am still your true one
Bertha.
May the Master still lead us.
