1885

John Brooks with Mrs. Brooks, daughter Elizabeth and a friend spent a most delightful summer at Eliot, Maine, broken by a trip "down east" with a stop on a small island near Wiscasset and then to East Brooksville for a visit with Mrs. Brooks' sister.

Since the present secretary assumed his job, he has had no word from Warren Adams, hence he is very glad to pass on a report sent in by Brooks who called on him at his summer home at Little Boar's Head, Rye Beach, N. H. "His hobby is book binding and with a shop fitted with all sorts of tools, as well as stocks of finest leather, gold leaf and every thing needed to produce beautiful covers for books. He said he had taken a course of training under experts and his work is really wonderful. He seems real well—plays golf regularly and looks quite like his old self. He has plenty of hair, though not quite like the old 1885 crop." We all remember Adams' bushy head covering. Probably the color is not as it was in '85.

Lorrain Weeks reports himself quite well, but he is not taking as many long walks as formerly. He still continues to take deep interest in national affairs and looks forward confidently to the election of a Republican president in 1948.

Secretary and Treasurer, Warner, New Hampshire
