Dear  BTr.  Deane: 
I  have  Been  quite  remiss  in  not  writing  you  Before 
to  thank  you  for  the  splendid  photograph  of  yourself  which  you 
sent  us  at  Christmas.  Madeleine  and  I  are  delighted  with  it 
and  I  am  going  to  he  selfish  enough  to  have  you  framed  and 
Brought  down  to  the  office  where  I  can  see  you  during  office  hours. 
The  only  other  picture  I  have  of  you  is  one  taken  a  good  many  years 
ago  and  I  think  the  change  in  your  mustache  quite  alters  your 
appearance.  Your  last  photograph  is  as  I  know  you  Best  and  I  like 
it  the  most. 
I  had  expected  to  see  you  last  September  if  you  recall 
But  I  was  unable  to  get  away  to  go  to  the  Bar  Association  Convention 
I  am  still  hoping  however,  that  something  will  Bring  me  in  your 
neighborhood  ere  long,  for  it  seems  a  long  time  since  we  have  met. 
We  are  all  doing  well  here  ana  our  youngsters  are 
somewhat  puzzled  By  the  old-fashioned  New  England  winter.  They 
never  saw  so  much  snaw  Before  and-  really  don’t  know  how  to  enjoy 
it,  But  I  am  not  neglecting  an  opportunity  to  teach  them  that. 
I  recently  read  a  very  fine  appreciation  of  Mr. 
Brewster  in  the  last  issue  of  the  paper  published  By  the 
Association  for  the  Protection  of  Forests.  I  suppose,  of  course, 
you  have  seen  it. 
Madeleine  joins  me  in  most  cordial  regards 
Best  wishes  for  the  New  Year. 
WMF/S  Very  sincerely  yours, 
and
