1888*

Davis, Frank J.—The Secretary believed that Pattee's New Year's letter was a good one, and a letter from our old friend Frank Davis confirms this belief. His address is 564 Weldon Ave., Oakland, Calif., where he is blessed with a climate which soothes his troubled soul. We expect that . Davis and Bodwell hold frequent telephone conferences, trying to check the antics of the California legislators.

Gilmore, Alexander H— The Boston Herald of February 7 carries the note that Alexander H. Gilmore passed away on February 6. The Secretary hopes to obtain a full account before next issue.

Hardy, George FHis notes are concise, as one would expect from 305 Broadway. We can infer, however, that he is much engrossed in developing the paper industry of the "deep South."

Keay, Forrest L— He has at last taken time off from treating the nerves of his community to move from his old standit must be 40 years plus since we began addressing him at 19 Main St.—to 36 Wakefield St. Make a note of this new ad- dress against the day when you will meet with an accident or suffer a nervous breakdown within a few hundred miles of Rochester, N. H.

Paul, Richard, of Paul, Paul, Moore, & Giese, address 710 Security Building, Minneapolis, writes a charming letter about every one in the class but Paul and his family. From the letterhead I could easily make up his life history, but that will be reserved for the class report.

Spalding, Charles R., finds the winter climate in Florida much to his liking. Address, 842 May St., Jacksonville. But to me it looks like a poor business move for one in the coal business in Chicago. However, queer things can happen in these New Deal days. Quite likely they need coal in Florida this year.

Spencer, Henry F.—The good scout says that if all the bunch in Washington had complete paralysis of the larynx he would hardly shed a tear. Under date of January 25 our old faithful writes of Pattee's letter: "What a wonderful old skeezics Pattee is and what a revealing letter he gives us! I have no hesitation in saying that the 23 others are the very finest fellows in '88 at the present time. I could not go to the reunion. I can only paddle around in my little pail, but my heart was there with genuine appreciation of what a decent gang you are and with a lifelong big regret in my interior department—gas, says Doc Lougee—that I can never possess one of those goat leathers from Dartmouth which Pattee mentions with such levity. It did me good to hear from him."

Secretary, 11 Oak St., Belmont, Mass
