1894

It is great to have this word from John Phillips: "I am feeling unusually well for me; in fact I have not felt so really alive for several years as I have felt for the last summer and fall. I had a splendid summer in Franklin. The little hotel where I stop is very comfortable and I have many friends and acquaintances in Franklin. I missed not having F. Claggett for dinner—as we usually got together at least once every summer."

A relay of John's letter to Frank Balch brought from Frank a chatty letter, in which he speaks of interesting trips which he and John used to take during college vacations and of their rooming together in the Y.M.C.A. Building (It will be remembered that Curly Bartlett also roomed there). Frank ends by saying: "May '47 be a good year for every one," and incidentally speaks of reading a two-volume history of the Adirondacks.

Billy Wallis, having left a Framingham hospital minus a troublesome part of his anatomy and having spent some time with his niece in that town, has now gone to Washing- ton, D. C., for the winter. He was able to drive his own car.

Bob Burnap has also tinned his face southward and may be addressed at Hotel Everglades, Miami, Fla.

Aubrey Lewis announces the arrival of his third granddaughter. Says Aubrey: "She was christened Aubrey Elizabeth, which, while I must accept the naming as a compliment, seemed a bit out of the beaten track of names in that that name usually indicates a he-child. However, that is of minor importance in relation to her growing into a healthy, vociferous and belligerent human being, and so far all the omens point in that direction."

The Boston Herald of recent date carried the obituary notice of Mrs. Elizabeth Randall Thurston, widow of Herbert Thurston, who died in 1932. She died at the home of her son Francis, Dartmouth '28, who lives in Wakefield, Mass.

Elmer Jenney's son Paul, who has been on duty in the State Department for several years, has now been assigned to Santiago, Chile, where he will be U. S. Consul General and First Secretary of the U. S. Embassy. Probably the major will visit him there in the near future.

The secretary acknowledges with hearty appreciation the many greetings he received from the '94 family during the holiday season. Paul Jenks notes that "We're 50-50 towards our 55th." Frank and Lillian Field evidently express delight over recovery from recent illnesses by writing exuberantly:

Though we should strive with all the powers That we posses, it's true— There could not be a joy like ours Except for friends like you.

Secretary, 74 Kirkland St., Cambridge 38, Mass.

Treasurer, 89 Prospect St., Somersworth, N. H.
