Butts Lamson wrote last May, "As far as news goes I know very little. You might, however, be interested in hearing that my wife and I went to Florida last month for two weeks for her health as well as mine, where we had the pleasure of running into Prof. William K. Stewart of the English department, an old professor of mine. It was at the Japanese Gardens at Bellair and I had a most enjoyable talk with him and Mrs. Stewart. It was quite a thrill seeing him so far from home after so many years, I can tell you. I also saw Ernest Smith '23 at Sarasota, where he is engaged in the insurance and wholesale candy business. He is most 'satisfactorily married' and has two boys. You have probably heard that Christina was born to Mrs. Dana Bent some few days ago at Southbridge. Both doing nicely, I understand."
Greenough Abbey and his wife passed us in a new station wagon on the Newburyport turnpike, in Salisbury. A veterans' legion parade was being formed and the traffic was held up, so we had a chance to introduce our wives and had a little chat.
Postcard from Bob Benjamin saying he is a captain at Fort Ethan Allen in Vermont. Bob says it is a great country and that he is looking forward to a regular: "Hanover winter." Quarters are right oB the post and he would be pleased to set any of the gang.
Most of this news has come in during. the summer. Please send me more so thai we may have more and better class notes this year. We hope to have a class dinner the night before the Harvard game and expect some of the New York crowd will be with us.
A nice letter from Joe Burleigh who i, ports teaching mechanical drawing in the Franklin, N. 11., high school. Joe says he sees Nat Sawyer, who lives in Concord, also Win Proctor in the summer.

I am living in the hopes that this year I can get my class: dues paid up and have enough left ova to be able to offer any classmates wH want to call on their way up the D. 1 Highway some tonsil tonic. So if anyoie gets dry just south of Franklin, call in. Thanks for the invitation, Joe and foi your nice letter.
