My dear Mr. Deane, 



Will you please excuse my making use of the stenographer and 



dictating a letter to you. I am about done up with the heat and my many 



cares today. Emile is still away and having a fine time as usual. 



office 



I am sending, "by my/boy, the book and the three pictures of 

 St. Mark's, which you will find inside of the book; also the glass to look 

 through when you view the pictures. I send my thanks for your kindness in 

 lending them to me. I took them in to the alumni dinner of St. Mark's 

 school, and they were very much appreciated. I should have sent them back 

 to you long ago, but alas I failed to. I ask your pardon as I often 



had to in the old days at St. Mark's, when I did anything to displease you. 

 If it could only be then now, I might have turned out a better man. 



You come into my mind very often. I have forgiven you years ago 

 the many lines you justly inflicted upon me, for I am sure I deserved them 

 all. With kindest regards to Dr. and Mrs. Coolidge, and to Mrs. Dean, 

 believe me 



Ever sincerely and affectionately yours, 



P. S. Will you kindly drop me a postal card, that I may know you have 



received these treasures all right.
