Just a line or two to let you know that T have received the 
various postals from you, especially the charming view of the cemetery, 
and am glad to learn that you have as yet had no eccasion to utilize the 
last named place. 
It has been the week given over to the midyear exams, 
here, and consequently a rather extra busy one for me. However, things 
are now about done and I am taking a chance this afternood to get a little 
of the other work run off. I hope to be able to look Sunday in the fece 
and feel that it has a few spare moments. There is not a bit oh news 
to write, as there has been nothing of moment -happening outside the school 
routine. I rise, eat, work,sleep. Thfet's all. Have hhd a, recent 
letter from Theriot, who is well, and full of vigorous invecting about 
£hose "domead Germans” He states th* t he has heard nothing frnm Hus^ot 
since July, the date of the last issue of the Hevue bryologique. Fe 
thinks that H. A as suspended publication, as have most other french revues 
'j/hat was the name of the ink that you told me I Some Waterman thing, I 
think, non-corrosive, black, and all the other fixings. I have yet to 
find the beast that I am in search of, though I am trying a lot of them, 
I must see what the Library Bureau recotomends, also the Committee of the 
American Library Association. I don't care so much for the immediate 
blackness, though it should be decently dark when written, as for the rpr- 
# r- 
manency and non-corrosive qualities. 
The folks write from North Carolina that they are both well, and 
enjoying life. I fear Henry, however, does not get out of doors as much 
as would be the best for him. He has a. new audience to swan stories
