Hillsdale--crossed out Hudson, Mich., March 19, 1904,

My Dear Aunt Mary:-- I came thus? Far East this week, thinking that a field might open for me. I was led to do so by hearing from Angola of which I wrote you a few days ago. There is no chance to supply there just now, I learn, but there is quite likely to be an opportunity in two weeks. I will not take much time to write you now as Holden has desired me to speak for him tomorrow morning and I must spend some time today in preparation. The quarantine was being raised at our house the day I left. The city schools do not permit the return of pupils

written upside down above the date: Holden and Hattie and Eva are well. Hattie seems to have recovered pretty thoroughly from her recent illness.
