Rivalry

From Mrs. Horace Spong to the Rev. Samson Spong Dear Samson,—I was so glad to hear from Lydia that you are better.We have been rather nervous about you, for a cold at this time of year is often difficult to throw off. Horace is better too, and we are making our plans for Mentone as usual. I don’t pretend to care much for this annual exile from home, but Horace counts on it.I am,Your affectionate Sister.
