1891

From Bugbee has come an unusual letterunusual in that he takes the Secretary to task for writing so illegibly that it required his family's help in deciphering what he wished to know. Anyway, he did tell the Secretary, "I have recovered from an attack of some sort of modern flu. I have not felt sick but just tired and very weak." Classmates may know he drives over almost every day from Tunbridge to his son's farm in Randolph. It's a 52-mile round trip. For one in his 86th year, he certainly is doing more than the rest of us can. "Last summer I put in a good many days of six or even more hours a day." He saw Tewky on March 10; found him normal. Had not seen Fish for years but from Tewky understood Fish is enjoying fair health.

Recently the Secretary and Mrs. Rowe had a delightful hour with Mrs. Herbert Colby in Danville, N. H., where she makes her home in the house with her son Alden, who is in the lumber business which has been in the Colby family for many years. Mrs. Colby, while visiting her daughter Mrs. J. E. Sunderland in Vermont, took a trip to Weston, Vt., to see the General Store so graphically told about in a recent Saturday Evening Post. As Weston was where our classmate Dr. Abijah Smith practiced for a number of years and where, a number of years ago, the Secretary and wife called on him, the whole picture of the little village stands out very vividly in our memory.

A recent letter from our classmate CharlotteE. Ford tells that, although she did have influenza in the winter and did sprain an ankle skiing (reliable information tells the Secretary she resumed skiing), she has seen this winter more snow than for many years in Hanover. As perhaps the Class knows, Miss Ford is a trustee of her Alma Mater, Simmons College, and is now a member of the Corporation Committee on Resources trying, as do all other institutions, to raise much money for endowments and buildings, all necessary for a fine College to continue doing such excellent work.

A letter from Heald in Scarboro, Me., tells that, while his health did not allow him to go to a Dartmouth dinner in Portland, he did send a letter that was read, in which he lauded President Dickey, and as a result he soon received a letter from Mr. Dickey who had appreciated the compliment paid him.

O'Brien wrote from Tallahassee, Fla., that he was on an auto trip on the new road on the Gulf of Mexico to New Orleans, where he was to spend a few days; then to take off on a trip up along the Mississippi, stopping at various places, eventually back to Washington.

Secretary, Treasurer and Class Agent, 80 Federal St., Boston 10, Mass.
