do not know, but I mention the matter as a sample of the kind of thing In 

 which he would get up an inte rest. But he was a "mixer" which I have never 

 been, and he vrobably knew half a dozen veovle to my one. He used to go to 

 meetings of Harvard Clubs all over the count ry, and he would rfii meet lots 

 of acquaintances, and make a lot of new ones. Our tastes in many things 

 were very diffe rent, but I shall miss him greatly. 



Monroe went through Boston in the fall. He was detained here 

 several weeks by his wife's illness, and finally took a trained nurse 

 with them to California. I saw a good deal of him while he was here. 



Do you know what Horace E. Scudder,who used to edit many of 

 Houghton, iiitfflin' s publications, was to our Scudder? 



Yours very truly
