1888*

Eighty Eight please read—The first item on page 25 of the January issue 1940. Sorry to confess I did not until a few days ago. It gives us more material evidence of the love and esteem which Frank Gove held for Dartmouth.

Bodwell, E. J.—Bod has an important birthday while this issue is on the press. Sorry we did not know it a month earlier. I don't see why but he seems, only now, to have discovered that the Secretary has no typewriter, perhaps reading Pattee's beautifully typed letter was the occasion for his unkind remarks about my penmanship. When Bod can no longer stand the climate in California we shall welcome him to Boston, give him a desk in my office and agree to turn over all my class letters to one who can type.

Now men of '88, Bod's approaching birthday is worthy of a letter from you. That means all of you.

Paul, Richard—is still quick on the trigger for it required only about 10 words penciled on Pattee's letter to bring a most complete analysis of Minnesota's young Governor. Dick talks like one who knows his subject. The only possible fault he could find with him was that his years number only 32. Never mind, we can perhaps hang on until Gov. Stassen makes the required 35.

Secretary, 11 Oak St., Belmont, Mass.
