no representative of England was there I can console 
you in a slight measure by telling you that Mr. Hodge was 
born in England and that I am only nine generations from 
the Reverend Obadiah Holmes of Manchester. 
I have seen your littlé ereen pamphlets and admire 
your small copies at the Peabody Museum and I am sorry that 
all of your data could not have been gotten together for 
the International or the Panama Congress. 
I promised to review the Joyce books but could not 
find time. My duties and responsibilities seem to multiply 
with the years and I am now practically overwhelmed with 
things to do outside of my scientific research and work. 
I mast tell you that Miss Fletcher is ill, suffering from 
bleeding of the nose, put is today reported convalescing. 
Mrs. Holmes is quite well and wishes to be remembered to 
you. 
Trusting that you are quite well by this time and 
wondering why a stay so long in the land of chill rather 
than in the sunny South, I am, 
Very truly yours,
