Dear Marion

I am
so sorry to hear of your
mother's illness. I have
at last found Mr. Scott's
address & written to engage
him for Jan. 12th & if he
can come, will invite [unclear]
[unclear] & c. As to the [unclear]
I think Mrs. [unclear] wd.
be much better [unclear]
than Mrs. Whitney because
she "knows the ropes" besides
being very efficient; but
if you & your mother
prefer Mrs. Witney, I

would write her. Perhaps
she wd. be better to plan
for houses than Mrs. B.
but for all she not or good
as she is in Brookline (I
suppose) & would not know
to well about speakers,
printing &.c. Tell me
what you think

Cordially

T. W. Higginson
