Feb 19, 1906, Letter from Calla (age 27) to her sister Jacqueline Adams (age 38):

Dearest Jacqueline and babies,
I wonder tonight what you all are doing and would love dearly to see you. We were so happy to hear of Dellas and Elmers being able to be safe, and that by now they are fully recovered. I suppose your little house commences to look dear for anything. Are you getting fully settled? Is Marion going to school? Are Ora and Della friendly again?

Friday night (last) was our last subscription dance. It was fancy dress affair, just the fanciest party imaginable. I was in much doubt as to how I would go when dear Mrs. Fesler helped me out. She loaned me the most gorgeous Chinese costume, all hand embroidered in gold and satin. The skirt was yellow satin all embroidered in large Chinese flowers. The overcoat, or sort of cassock, was all embroidered in gold, forming a large dragon in front and back, and the dear little trousers were a brilliant green silk with large white satin folds, done in birds and flowers.

I coiled my hair in my neck and wore red and yellow chrysanthemums in my hair. The costume was stunning. I'm going to get my picture taken in it and will send you one. I know my suit was beautiful but I had no idea it would be such a hit. Truly everyone just went wild over it. I wish you could of heard them. I am still hearing about it. Mrs. Fesler was delighted to think it was so pleasing. Mrs. Fesler goes tonight to Mrs. Will Chamberlins fancy dress party and will wear the same costume or nearly the same. She always asks after you dear so when you write to me send some message to her.

Your black silk suit is finished. I have not seen it yet.

I am still working with my music and I'm working lots as I never worked before. I would like to go away and study for a while. I wish Elmer would make a million and loan me a couple thousand.

How do you like Basin dear. Do you really think you are going to like it? Please do write soon and answer all my questions. Don't wait a week on receipt of this letter for that will make such a long time.

Give my love to all the folks and tell Fred I wish him the best of luck. With much love for you all, very lovingly your sister.
