My dear Dr .Kennedy, 



Your very kind invitation to m to Kvu*g Fr. David 

 Wilson over to your house , brings up a serious question in my mind. 

 Young Wilson is exceedingly sensitive ,it seems to m , about his in- 

 firmity , and therefore zaigkt be averse to visiting even with £frs . Goodale 

 and myself. I k»»W that he would much enjoy a glimpse of your beautiful 

 ho re in this If ay sunshine, but I think that his timidity night interfere 

 with his pleasure. 



I expect to have a meeting of the Overseers' Committee on the Botanical 

 •Ifuseum, of which Dr. Wilson, David's father, is a pro ninsmt member , some- 

 time in early June. 1 am confident that Dr. Wilson would accept with much 

 eagerness an invitation from you and Ifildred to take luncheon then, and 

 he would see that David's going with him would be managed all right. He 

 might explain to David, far better than I could, the deep interest which 

 ilfildred feels in the deaf. 



Now dojju't give this suggestion a second thought, if it militates or con- 

 flicts in the slightest degree with any of your plans. Mrs, Goodale and 1 

 would be pleased to accompany the Wilsons. 



You will excuse a type-written letter ,f or it carries, 



just as well as a 'written one, all good wishes to you all Brom us both 

 here. 



Yours faithfully
