My dear Girls,

Last night Daisy Murphy brought me the wonderful Robin and I shall speed him on his way just as soon as I hear from Helen Davenport.

First I want to say how proud I am of dear old '03. All the members of the class seem to be fine, splendid types of women.

Just as so many have said their lives are full, so with me, the days are never long enough. I am one of the married women of the day, who follows a career as well being a wife. I have continued my delightful association with the Spence School in New York since my marriage and as I have never been blessed with children I find great joy with my little ones who are mine only until one o'clock each day.

I have a deep attachment for the school and somehow each October finds me back, although I frequently consider stopping the work. And so my time is absorbed to a great extent with my husband and my school interests.

Ruth Haslup and I are planning to go to go to Europe together this summer. I can think of no one who would be a better 'pal'. It is really delightful continuing intimate friendship dating to before Goucher days! Ruth, Daisy, and I are still very close friends.

Since living in New York, I had the pleasure of seeing fairly frequently dear Anna Haslup. I never cease regretting deeply that she had to go, as that was a dear little family and Mrs. Haslup adored her! Certainly, she had every reason to be proud of such a high principled spiritual minded daughter. And of course she was Ruth's only sister so we all can know what her death meant to her.

I am hoping to be able to join the merry throng this June! I enjoyed so much the tenth anniversary and how much more exciting will be the twenty-fifth!

My sincerest, best wishes for all
Lyda Norris Bailey
