M-me Armand. Kurhotel Mariental. Sorenberg (Kanton Luzern).

Dear friend! I have just sent you, so to speak, a business letter in response to your comments and thoughts about your letter about women's organizations1*. But besides the business letter, I wanted to say a few friendly words to you and shake your hand firmly, firmly. You write that your hands and feet are swollen from the cold. That's terrible. You've always had chilled hands. Why make it worse? You write yourself that you are going to leave soon (I do not say this, for you asked me not to write you my requests that you should go away where there are people). I am very glad that you yourself are going to leave, and I wish from the bottom of my heart that it will be easier elsewhere.

Once again I shake your hand firmly and send my best regards.

Yours1*.
