Florence, Alice Herr and I are going to the Elmendorf Lectures, I did not 

 arrive in time to hear or rather see the first of the series, hut last week 

 was "Western India" and he covered Just the region that we went over. His 

 Pictures are v«ry fine indeed, I think he must have a bi-focal lens, for his 

 figures stand out in a remarkable manner. This Friday he gives Java, and 

 the week following he gives an extra lecture on Egypt, we have four tickets 

 for that and hope Georgeanna Mendenhall, will be able to Join us too. I have 

 not seen her yet, but am going to lunch with her tomorrow. 



Florence receives very good word from Edwin, he has had a delightful time 

 in King stem going all about the island with some very interesting people whom 

 he met, they now have left him s they are soon to return to Mew York, but he 

 has grown so fond of the island that he has not as yet made any plates about 

 leaving. Florene is better than she was last week, she was very tired 



after her trip to the sanltorium with her Fatht-r, and for a few days felt and 

 looked badly, but she rested up, and m go to bed early and are out of doors 

 all we can be, so she is better, today she said she felt perfectly well, and s: 

 she certainly seems more like her old self than she has for some time. The 

 boys are splended, so full of fun and so bright. Ken is all the time making 

 things, and he is so much interested in how other people make things. 



Please thank Auntie for her good letter that came this morning telling me 

 of your Sunday doings and of Frances, I am so glad she is better, poor girl 

 she certainly has had a hard time, I do hope"Deede" will be able to return 

 soon, for she is so splended there in the home with the other children. 



I am delighted Father dear that you enjoy this type-writer, I do not see 

 how I lived so long a time without it. Perhaps you will find this double 

 spacing more easy to read, than the other letter, I almost always use this 

 spacing when I write letters and do not know why I happened to use the narrow 

 in rny other letter to you. 



We are beginning to have real spring weather here in spite of the fact that 

 the snow has not all melted yet, they had a most unusual lot of snow this
