week of your acting as host to President Taft. I hope you have preached him some good sermons on conservation. Last July
I was on the illegible ast taking a hurried trip with my daughters. I telephoned to learn if you were at home that I might
gr illegible op your hand again, but to my great regret leaned that you were away for some days. Occasionally I have heard
about you from some mutual friends - especially Dr. illegible Merriam: I trust the years are dealing kindly with you and
yours. Isn't it time for one who has been so much of a traveller to see the Capitol of his country? I should be delighted
to see you and to offer such hospitality as a man may where home has lone since been broken up by the death of its mistress.
With sincerest regards I am Yours Truly Charles K Wead
