Dear Maggie

                        Since I heard through the news-
papers of your return to the spiritrapping
profession (for which I never blamed you)
I have not been able to learn your address.
Kate never answers a note, and is never at
home. and Mrs Bayard did not know
your whereabouts. Will you let me
know where you are, and what you
are doing? I shall be here till 1^st Sept.
I have some suggestions to make. Write
to me to the above address.

Yours truly
E. F. Ellet
