1881

During the winter, Mclntire wrote from Cambridge:

"I was glad to receive your report and know that you are continuing so well.

"As to myself there is little to report. A year ago I spent five weeks in the hospital and made a good recovery after an operation.

"I still drive my car and do some office work. Taking life easy and not worrying about the future I think I am nearing agerasia. (I didn't get that word out of my old Greek Lexicon. I dug it out of a crossword puzzle by hard work.) I can not think with Browning, 'The best is yet to be', but perhaps we are fortunate to be nearing the exit before all our ideals, customs and beliefs come crashing about our ears.

"It is up to a younger generation to fight our wars, pay our debts and start humanity again on the straight road. We will hope they can do it.

"I have been intending to call on Dewey and shall soon. Mrs. Dewey tells me by phone that he is about the same.

"In some ways I would like to go to Hanover in June, but I fear it would bring more sadness than pleasure when we see the empty places. Your son being there would give you added attraction. Will be glad to know what you decide about going."
