8 P.M. May 20, 1910, Dearest Carrie, Your dear letter of the 16th just received. Sorry you and Baby are sick. I will write you a long letter tomorrow as Susie & children are here – and it is so much noise I could not write a letter – Papa does not feel well tonight, has a headache. They are having a big time at San Carlos tonight as it is 'Cubra Libre'. I went down to Hattie's this PM and went to the dentists with her – All join me in love to all. From yours lovingly, Lill.Language
