I have been working on my ms, of my third paper of the year, typing it, have the plate all fixed up, and lettered, and as soon as I hear from Bequaert can turn it in to the Journ of the Academy. Then I'll pitch in & work on Myochrous and try to finish that up. Today was Barbers 66th birthday. Dr. Wetmore is back from Panama. I ran into him as I came in this morning, and he was so brown He shook hands cordially and said I looked very spring like,- I had a big bunch of lilacs and bridal wreath and my new hat. It is shaped like an officer's army hat , only made of blue & gold thready stuff [[image]] with a gold cord about the front, and with my navy jacket, I look like a lady naval officer! quite snappy for an old lady.

Now I must go to bed and try to drag Dad along too  He is deep in his cards, muttering away like a monomaniac.

Love
Mother.
