I acknowledge with great pleasure letters from the following, from which I quote in part: Cliff Hayes: It is certainly interesting to look over the list of 19ers in service. I knew Charlie Biddle had been in China for many years but had not heard of his experience in the hands of the Japs. There is nothing new that I can report except that the mills I work for are very busy on war work.

Jim Davis: I am up to my ears and will be until after Christmas—hardly have time to go home nights. Attended the Harvard parties with the worst head cold I've ever had—didn't stay long.

Newm Sleeper: Was glad to get the list of the class in service. All my friends here who have gone are at least captains, but I shall probably wind up at Camp Devens as a private.

Hildreth Allison: This has been quite a year for me from a literary standpoint, as I have had more things accepted than in any other one year. Have just had my article "Parson Sprague of the Monadnock's" accepted by Americana, the quarterly publication of American Historical Society and have been advised it will appear in either December or April number. It contains a good deal of New Hampshire and Cheshire County history.

Lt. Com. John Chipman: Everybody seems to be in Washington or comes here. A week ago tonight the Dartmouth Club here had a turnout of 115-120 for the annual dinner and it was one of the friendliest meetings of its kind I've ever attended. The regular Tuesday luncheons here at the Hotel Annapolis, presided over by Dick White 'lB are always a pleasant, profitable hour. Bob Paisley called up Mildred for us to have dinner with him last Saturday but we were tied up. He flew away at 10:30 P.M. for 60 days in Brazil to look up hemp or whatever they use to make rope—as he said, for my Navy. Here I've been on duty since Feb., and the only rope I've seen comes around my regulation stiff white collars. When Bob returns, we'll have a real reunion. While separating the bones from the meat of a flounder at O'Donnell's a while back, who should pass the table but Ruddy Stewart now located at Treasury Dept. whom I haven't seen since in Wilmington back in 1926. I certainly had a fine visit in Hanover with Helen and Max.

Gin Mullen: Have been here since Aug. 3, and things are certainly humming. Haven't seen Paisley or Chuck Sears but intend to make a real effort to do so. If you see, Clements, ask him to write me what he is doing and where located.

Capt. Paul Halloran: Last Sat. I had the opportunity of attending the class luncheon before the Harvard game. Spider Martin was up from New York and several others were present. There were quite a few in uniform, including Louis Munro and Dan Featherstone.

Lt. Com. Henry Siegbert: I am here in New York for a few days on leave—have been at the Naval Air Station at Quonset Point for 4 months. During the first two, I went through the indoctrination school—it was hard work but well worth while, and I feel it was very necessary to cover the transition from civil into military life. Now having completed all my training, I'm leaving to do a job. My address will be South Atlantic Command, Task Force 23, P.M., NYC. Give my best to all the boys when you see them.

Lt. Col. Tom Hap good: I spent several days in August on leave ill Lyme and enjoyed getting into Hanover for several hours. Saw Max Norton. Mighty good news about Paul Halloran. Had a line from him some time ago, before his recent promotion. The boys seem to be carrying quite a bit more rank this time than they did last.

Capt. Clarence Buttenwieser: My title and address at present are: Captain M.A.C., Hammond General Hospital, Modesto, Calif. Have been here just about a week and am aiding in helping start this new hospital. At Camp Grant, after I was finished with the refresher course, I was assigned to a company as instructor, lecturer and aided in drilling the entire battalion.

Charles Warner: Left RFC last Spring to take a position as the Field Auditor of Gulf Ordnance Plant, Aberdeen, Miss. Lately I have resigned that position to become connected with Reynolds Metals Cos. at Richmond, Va., where I am very happily placed, commuting every weekend to my home in Washington. My son, 18, is in his last year at Fishburne Military School (prep) at Waynesboro, Va.

Ken Huntington: I thought you'd like to know that Bill Picken, Vaughn Little and myself had an enjoyable reunion in the Inn after the Colgate game, and Bill entertained some of the Navy.

Phil Bird: Here are the lists for the two Harvard game parties. Considering gas, war demands, etc., they both were a great success. Friday night: Ray Hinds, Bill White, Al Crosby, Jim Davis, Louis Munro, George Bingham, San Treat, Bill Hoard, Phil Bird, Jack McCrillis, Bob Stecker, Al Googins, Jock Murray, Herb Fleming, Charlie Biddle, Rock Haves, Dan Featherstone, Bill McCarter, Spider Martin, Ray Legg. Sat. luncheon: Jim and Paula Stone and two children, Ray and Harriette Hinds, Phil and Helen Bird, Major Dan Featherstone, Bill Hoard, Capt. Paul Halloran with 2 guests, Charlie Biddle, San Treat and guest, Elmer Pillsbury, Louis and Harriet Munro, Spider and Bea Martin, Jack and Hester McCrillis, Bob Stecker, Bill and Marion White and 2 children, Will Fitch '17 and Betty Abbot, Rock and Alice Hayes, George and Lissa Bingham, Art and Ruth Havlin, Jim and Mary Davis, Ray Legg and guest.

Letters were also received from Phil Watson, Stew Wark, Major Thornton Wood, Teto Webster, Lt. Com. Norman Godbe, Bill Eads, Chet Gale, Charlie Biddie and Bunny Burnett.
