My dear Mrs. Yancey.-

Not knowing of your plans I am writing to ask if by any chance you are to be free this summer or if May is coming north.

My sister, Mrs. Hallock, lives in an appartment corner Park Ave. and Eighth St- Her maid who has been with her some times is called home by illness- The place

Elizabeth Augall
