1895
Some of the Class., I assume, have received from "Sliver" Rice a proposed plan to reorganize the Class so as to assure immediate succession of Class officers in case any one, or more, of the group should become incapacitated or should die.
If any of you have not responded to "Sliver's" letter, please do so as soon as possible.
Ernest Gile and I have suffered no involuntary confinement in a penal institution; but we both were confined in Dick Hall's House for many weeks during the first six months of this year and the care we were given there was as kindly and efficient as a patient could wish for.
Miss Lois Dunn, in charge of Dick's House, was brevetted by representatives of the student body "The Florence Nightingale of Hanover," an appropriate title I am sure.
Ernest Gile and I had adjoining rooms at Dick's House and saw a good deal of each other. I, although suffering the insufferable pain of sciatica periodically, was the mobile one of the two. We hospitalized classmates talked together about many things.
Ernest is now in a convalescent home in Enfield, N. H. If you haven't time to write a letter, write a postal card. I know he would enjoy letters or postal cards from classmates. His address is Pierces' Convalescent Home, Enfield, N. H. The cards and letters I received from classmates during my stay at Dick's House were greatly appreciated.
I have received a letter from Joe Ford's widow telling about her activities during the summer. She writes, "I have received a nice letter from 'Sliver' Rice. He spoke of Ernest Gile being very ill. I haven't heard anything since and have wondered how Mr. Gile was and where he was being cared for. Could you drop me a line and let me know?" Mrs. Ford spent the summer in Buffalo with her daughter Dorothea's family. She also visited her sister in Newton Centre.
I hear from H. Dan Watson occasionally and am anticipating a call from him at my home before long.
I called on Mrs. Wilson at her home in Hartford, Conn., last April.
I was surprised and delighted to have two calls from Windsor Sears and his comely wife a few weeks ago. He was spending a few weeks in Windsor, Vt., and called on Ernest Gile at the convalescent home in Enfield. Windsor has made a remarkable recovery from thrombosis and has now resumed his dental work at his office in New Bedford, Mass.
