@envelope_park_avenue_1896_09_30:document -> location -> @new_york_cityWomen, News, Co. May. Barnett Papa & I would find out about it. We had the usual service this week & I did the singing as usual. There are a lot more old women here, all ugly. I will be glad to leave & see some good looking people for a change. Well everyone has gone to bed so I must follow as it is not proper for me to be here alone with Mr. Goddard. Hoping to hear soon of your safe arrival at Abingdon & all about the place I am as ever your loving friend. (All miss you) Uncle Celestia
