Sty bicycle came safely .nd is clown cellar, just as soon as the roads dry up 

 we will taKe it down town .nd have it put in shaoe to ride. This is an ideal 

 region for bicycle riding and I think it will be fun to try it again. Ken is 

 °o delighted I have it with me. He is such a dear boy , he is much de- 



lighted with conundrums just now, and we played a great game this evening 

 making them up. He wan. very anxious for me to send you and Auntie some that 



made up this evening, so I told him when he went to bed that I surely would 

 "but not the answers Nan!" he said, "we will send those to them later." 

 So here are some, — 



(10 What is the difference between a grand piann and a chair?

The little fellow in so bright, he laughed and laughed over trying L 

 to sav " Three gray geese in a green field", and as for the" Joodchuck would 

 chuck" wood " he could hardly contain himself with delight and amusement. He 

 wants to learn that one and say it to the boys. The geese one he has already 

 learned and he can say it pretty fast too. Dickie thinks they are great fun 

 too but he is not oulte old enough to go lr to them the way Ken does. 



Edwin writes that he in having a most delightful time, he has met a man 

 there in Kingston who with his wife is touring the inland. Edwin and he 

 have taken a -reat liking to one another and they have asked Edwin to go with 

 them on thelr^trip. He is a very interesting man Edwin finds and they have 

 verv delightful times together. He does not know how long he will remain

 Florence feels very harpy about it, because it is just the sort of thing 

 that the Dr. wanted jedwia to do, and fi. himself writes that he is feeling

Tonight Florence and her Mother have gone in to see Forbes-Robertson 

 in "Mice and Ken", and the two little boys are now sound asleep up in their 

 room and T am down in the living room "Tlting to you. Saturday Florence and 

 1 are goiru to see hirr. in "The Light that Failed", I am so delighted oecause

Florence is going in tomorrow to take her Father to a beautiful sanitor- 

 ium up in the northern part of Penn. he Is in a wretched state of mind and 

 body, poor Florence it is pretty hard for her to never have any let up in 

 her anxiety raid responsibilities; I am more glad than I can say that I am 

 able to be here, for I can see what a comfort it l" to have someone near her 

 who is well and strong and to whom she can turn for sympathy and help when it 

 cor; a to any ouestion as to "just what is best to do". 3he is very wonder- 

 ful in her oize and strength it seems to me, and her two little boys are a 

 great comfort to her, they will someday be something to be proud of, in fact 

 I think thev are now! Tell Father dear send me a line now and then to 



let j»e know how you all are. I am glad I came through yesterday for it was 

 an intf resting experience to have had. You have had the satisfaction of say- 

 ing to me "I told vou so" and certainly if I had not seen that storm with my 

 own eyes 1 would have ioun- it very hard to believe the stories I read in the 

 papers.
