Deer 0 ha viper lair: - 
T "ind that T have r>ot written yon since 
your letter of the 7to of Sept, came. were all very sorry 
to hear of your mother's mishap and sincerely hope that she 
has fully recovered before this. T was intending to have 
written you within a few davs after vour letter came, hut, T 
was so rushed with work that T have let the matter slide from 
day to day. As you probably fcnow mother wrote to Cumberland 
Center within a few days after we heapd of your mother's accident. 
he have not heard how she is getting along hut they say "no 
news is yood news" and we hone this occasion is no exception 
to the saying, 
" r hen you yet a chance T shall be glad to hear of anything 
in the news line which has harpered since T sew you last. 
ith me it has been much the same as with you ; T imagine, 
busy, busy,PUSY, I have one of the fullest schedules 
this term that I have ever had. ' T have to he at the laboratorv 
every hour in the forenoon,every day in + he weeb* except the 
first two hours Thursday morning. T also have to h© there 
regularly three afternoons. 
Phis is ihy first day of this way of waiting. As yet it is 
not very rapid,hut that comes only with practice. I have an 
Oliver on trial for a month. T don't like this particular 
■ r. 
machine so 1 .may not beep it more than a month.
