Bob Blood has had a tough winter. He fell ill some time ago and stayed away from work—for the first time in years—for two weeks; then returning to his office (managing editor of the Manchester Union) too soon, he was lured out by a three-alarm fire and went back to bed with pneumonia. "Most expensive fire I ever went to," he writes, "and they can burn the city nexttime without me!" Now he and Mrs.'Blood are spending a month in Bermuda, where he is rapidly regaining his strength, and expects to return about the end of February as good as new. A post card to me and a good letter to Bill Bell have kept us posted on what's what in the island of sunshine.
