Class of 1890

Since hearing from Fitzgerald through John F. McDonald, your Secretary has received a letter direct, and as it is short and to the point, it may be well to quote it in full. He wrote as follows:

"Your letter of April 7 was indeed anagreeable surprise. I have been in the Westfor so many years that I am out of touchwith the boys of '9O, but I am in hopes thatI may be able to attend the next reunionin Hanover. My old violin is in its casecovered with dust. I have not used it formany years—too many things to occupy mytime.

"I expect to be in Washington some timein the near future and will look up anyof the boys that I can find in that city. Twofriends of McDonald's called at my officerecently, but unfortunately I was on a triparound the state and did not see them. Ifyou should know of any of the boys makinga trip through Nevada, you can assurethem of a hearty welcome from me if theywill come to Carson City."

Charles' wife passed away last fall, and we rode out to his home at South Acton one pleasant day to have a chat with him, but unfortunately found he was in Washington, D. C., visiting his brother. Charles was connected with the N. E. Tel. & Tel. Cos. in the personnel department, but retired a few years ago, as his wife was quite ill. They spent the last fifteen years in South Acton, living with Mrs. Charles' father, who is a Civil War veteran, now in his 95th year. Charles' son, Robert, a Dartmouth graduate, is unmarried and lives with them. He is a chemist, connected with a firm in Framingham.

Ran across Hilton at the Union Club recently. His wife had a touch of pneumonia while visiting her daughter in California in the winter, but recovered nicely.

Secretary, 34 Gray St., Arlington, Mass.
