1878*

Sully, whose latest letter (September '41) was highly optimistic, is now reported to have failed to such a degree that further response from him is hardly to be hoped for. His habitat too has been changed and he is to be addressed in care of his son, Wilberforce Tr., 90 Broad Street, New York.

Tarbell in his 89th year still drives his up-to-date sedan, reads about all the magazines there are, and occasional books such as Inside Latin America, Young Man ofCaracas, Soong Sisters, etc. His daughters keep him well supplied with literature. Now and then he attends a movie or plays cribbage or contract bridge. All in all he says that but for the records he might place his age at sixty, as the people who kid him do. He supports in the main the President's foreign policy, but thinks he needs watching in domestic affairs lest he spend us into insolvency. Rae Davis, the granddaughter who was with him at our 60th, is now in Beloit College.

Harlow is slowly recovering from the illness recorded in the February MAGAZINE, but is still under the eye of a housekeepernurse; is able to walk a little, is dressed and downstairs afternoons to dine with his daughter Margaret on her return from the bank where she has long been employed.

Parkhurst thinks the immediate business of the world is to win the war, and proposes as a slogan: "Remember Pearl Harbor and the hellishness of Hitler." But he thinks it will expedite rather than retard the victory, to be considering meantime plans for organizing that better world we hope there is to be for our children and grandchildren, and for which we fight.
