found the gas cock partly open, the window open at top and bottom,and 
Morris dead on the bed. She at once called Doctors, who had t>he 
pultnotor a.nd all other things possible, but without avail. 
Of course, we have to face the suspicion that always arises in such 
kind of death, but I do not believe there 1g any foundation for 
suspecting suicide. Mrs. Morris’ father, mother and brother came 
Sunday, but the most of the real help has been given by outside people.; 
Miss Hunt, Mr. Morse, and myself. I stayed there in the house all tb 
time, save when accompaning the body to Springfield, until Saturday nib 
night, and have been in close touch with all the develope^ents, since. 
The hardest part of it is, that Mrs. Morris floes not feel the confidence 
and trust in her own family that is usually the case under such circum¬ 
stances. I shall have to be, unofficially, the scientific executor, 
and have already been asked to pepare an obituary notice for Torrey Bul¬ 
letin, November issue. It will be a hard month for me, with the ope* 
mg of school and all the other things. The school elojtie is going 
to be harder work that usual. 
Let me know as soon as you can the dates when you are likely if 
to be in New York, so that I may plan to see you, T am trying to keen £ 
track of things -a little ahead for the present, and arrange my ’’dates”. 
Also, will you let me know the name and price of the pencil pointer 
that you have in the laboratory, it is certainly the best thing that 
I have seen for a long long time. 
I am at the old stand, 416 West 118th St., Apt. DP, and ’sail 
expect tosee you when you drop through the city. 
With my kindest regards to you all, 
\ 
Sincerely yours,
