Shelburne, IT, H, 



Dear Friend Deanet- 



It was a shook to me to learn that you had lost 

 your wife, i will alvvays remember her kindness to me years 

 ago when I drifted into Cambridge a green, gawky, young 

 product of the West. The years have rolled rapidly by and 

 there is no use setting our eyes to the fact that we are all 

 now in our declining years. Your years will be more lone- 

 ly now than mine, for T have never en^ojei the companionship 

 and I have gotten into habits of work, ^ere I do not 

 feel the need. 



My business will probably ©all me to often to 

 Boston in the future, and the next visit I hope to" find you 

 at home. 



With best regards, I am:. 



Yours very truly, 



C. G. Lloyd, 



Dictated.
