what I already have will give me a very fair representation of out 

 900 species. 



Mary continues to improve. She cannot use her eyes yet but is 

 able to get around pretty vigorously. This will be fairl evident 

 when I tell you that today she made three cakes ,helped with the kitch- 

 en work a little, made a lot of small bows of ribbon for decorations, 

 and went this afternoon to a History Club reading. { Doubtless you 

 will wonder what under the sun we are going to do with" THREE cakes! 

 The wives and mothers of the resident members of the Beta Theta Pi 

 fraternity are going to give the college chapter a house-warming Sat- 

 urday night in honor of their occupancy of their new chapter house. 

 Of which we are whom: hence the cakes and bows.) 



Do not forget to tell me when you write how Mrs. Dearie's health 

 is now. When yaa last wrote she was not at all well. We hope that 

 she has quite recovered. Mar}/ joins me in warmest regards to her as 

 well as yourself. 



Write me also what you hear from Morong. When does Bailey in- 

 tend returning and where is he going ? 



If it is not too much trouble get me a little more of that lin- 

 ing in the bird's nest. I have a brilliant idea, and I'd like to see 

 whether there is anything in it. 



Remember me to all the Cambridge people when you see them— Good- 

 ale , Wat son, Far low, Seymour et al. 



With warmest regards, ever faithfully yours,
