was present at the lunch but skipped the Zoo in favor of a game of golf. 
Osgood was present and he does not look at all well.filings at the Museum are 
not going to suit him,and the prospects for the future are not very satisfactory 
I imagine.I saw the Abbot babyand she is as nice a baby as you would oaee to 
look at.Dorothy is as happy as can be,and it is a pleasure to see her.She is a 
simple straightforward girl and as glorious a speciamn of womanhood as oan be 
imagined.She has developed physically trmendously since you last saw her,and now 
is bigger than her mother and with a muoh more commanding presence.In fact she 
cannot afford to put on much more flesh without looking unwieldly.She is a rare s; 
specimen and has followed the oourse which every normal woman should desire to 
tread vis an early marriage and two nice healthy children who ,.judging from ap¬ 
pearances are strictly normal in every way.Hart cannot disguise his pleasure and 
pride in his granchildren,and for: that matter in Dorothy.it is time,too,that Maer 
was married,and I notice a young fellow about there who may be intending to make 
a venture in that direct ion.She is a mighty nioe girl,but she has not the element 
of popularity that her sister displayed very early. 
I have not been up to the mark for the past fortnight; being bothered with 
that accursed eLisSiness. Not a whiff of tobaooo have I had far ten days or more. 
While the trouble persists tobacco is no good,and I oannot take muoh oredit for 
forbearing ibs usau

Have not heard further from Mrs Farley but am, expecting to seewthis week 
running over for fehat purpose to Mann's golf grounds whioh ars olose by her 
residenoe if I understand just where she is.
