On religious services

… [sic] Bertie and Nell and her aunt have gone to Ladies Prayermeeting [sic]. I didn’t feel like going. I think that three Sunday services, with prayermeeting [sic] Monday and Friday is plenty– don’t you? I suppose I could go to all Sunday but it would leave me only about three or four hours to read or write in.
