Spring is well established here.^e waken every morn 
to the sound of the Peabody bird,now migrating.Many 
birds find our back yard,which is rather shaded and 
retired,a pleasant place to rendezvous,and if I knew 
what they ware I could send you a long list. 
I hope to start for R&ddolph on the Hih of next 
month,go down to Andover for my 2^th anniversary there, 
and drive the family back to Randolph so as to get back 
tnexe about the l^th.Pernald wants to start for Gaspa 
about the first of -July, I think. lt ought to be an intere 
eating expedition and a profitable one,and I am sure 
that I shall enjoy my part of it. 
Now the family a®e calling me into the garden to see 
the flowers of the spring so I will alas© with best 
wishes. A.S.P.
