aid station to smithereens. I am pleased that you are quite decided not to return to Cottey. By the time you read this I suppose you will have said you adieu. Cottey may be a good place for little girls to learn their three r's, but I am convinced it is a prison for genius. No chance there for a liberal-minded person to breathe. I know you will be much happier some place where you do not have to live under the constant observation of Piety. And you'll find it a blessing to have some time free from pupils. Nice as your girls are I'll wager your having to live with them had its disadvantages.
