Title: Letter, April 11, 18__, ?," Washington, to "Dear Baby," 4 pp.: "I have nothing very nice to send you and Mama just yet, but I put in a card already for you to hang in Dolly's House, and I put in two colors of dye for you and the Brevard children to color eggs for Easter. . . I felt so lonely this evening that I went out after dark and took a long walk by myself -- walked into the Presidents grounds and saw the fountains playing and saw the bright lights all through the House . . . Washington I believe is the most beautiful city in the world and so orderly that a lady can go any where alone even at night. Since Nonie and my cousins went away I have noone close that I care to be with much, so I keep very much to myself. Last Saturday I went to see the great Bernhardt play in Camille. . . Next Monday I am going to Barnums Circus . . . The children are all so gay here -- the streets are so wide and smooth that they glide about on their roller skates and on bycicles in and out among the carriages . . ."
