toward her successors. The fact that Mrs. Briggs was 
a graduate of Radcliffe was especially pleasant to Mrs. 
Agassiz. 
TO MRS. L. B. R. BRIGGS 
December 9, [1903] 
My pear Mrs. Brices: My stupid influenza which 
clings to me like a brother still keeps me at home. 
I had hoped to meet you this afternoon, but my 
cold and the weather are equally unfavorable. Per- 
haps you will not be at Radcliffe yourself, but I care 
to tell you how sorry I shall be to miss you, should 
you look in, — and to tell you also how great a help 
and pleasure it is to me to see you there. You seem 
to me one of us, — the natural associate of our early 
days. How happy we should have been then to know 
that Radcliffe would so soon have the position she 
holds now! 
I have wished to say all this to you so much that 
I write instead of waiting to see you when my cold 
leaves me free. As to the teas much as I like to see 
you there you must always remember that one of 
their good points is that no one is bound by them, — 
the tea-table stands there ready for use by the stu- 
dents and their friends, even if their elders are other- 
wise occupied or engaged. 
With affectionate remembrance, 
Your old friend, 
EvizaBeTH C. AGASSIZ
