If this is not sufficient to explain the combination please 
let me know and give me another clue to look up. 
ITothing special concerning myself except that I am very 
bn.Sy most oi tee time. hxpeot to have to go to ashington 
oefore long, but do not know when as yet. 
I wonder if I have mentioned the fact to you that Georme 
and Edith are expecting to go out in Glocester soon (possibly 
within ten days] and take up farming. George has not recovered 
iron the accident sufficiently to go on to the oars again, and 
it may be a long time before he dan do so , if ever. ' They 
expect to invest in a 40 acre farm which they plan to run pri¬ 
marily as a poultry and fruit farm. The place already has 
about 150 apple trees (mostly Baldwins), and some pears, 
peaches, plums, blackberries, raspberries, etc. 
The place is about 8.5 miles from Certerdale, 3 from Che- 
pachet, 5 from ITorth Scituate, 5 from Greenville, about 500 feet 
altitude, in the southeastern part of the town of Glocester. 
The Pr. says the only chance of his getting entirely over the 
effects of the accident is to get out into the country and do 
light farm work. We are all hoping that the venture will^ pan 
out to the best advantage. You must plan to make them a visit 
next time you come this way. 
Cordially,
