3 write I shall feel the more perfect sense of talking with you. Thank you so much for illegible . I shall hold it tenderly
till you come to take me on an Amazon trip This morning I saw Dr. Dall Dr. Fisher who were with us in Alaska. tomorrow I
shall see Dr. Merriam and before I leave Washington I shall hope to have a glimpse of all our H. A. P's? who live here. How
wonderful those happy cruising, mountain climbing glacier viewing days were I count the days now until each Atlantic Monthly
appears for I so enjoy knowing of your earlier years. Every time I think of your taking your clock to be the fair I smile
with amusement. Do stay in the Hooks Garret long enough to describe all such boyish pranks and ambitions 4 I gave the
Harrimans your letterhead messages the other day they were pleased to have them. They are all well. Mother joins me in
love with the hope that we'll see you East or West before long. Faithfully, Betty Averell 04985
