Dear Doris:-

Two days ago I heard from your mother & your letter came to-day. Am glad that you would like to go to the N-Y. football game. It is more than a game-& more than a spectacle put on by traditional rivals. It is an experience in itself & one that occurs in Cambridge only once in two years. Both you & Connie should enjoy it- & have an experience that neither of you will ever forget- nor I either. I wouldn't make the trip just for my own entertainment, but will gladly do so to share the experience with others. 

Your mother also mentioned Stoughton & the idea intrigues me- but am not sure it is feasible yet- & the probability is that I should not make it at this time - but plans haven't crystallized yet- & I still have an open mind on the subject. Would like to take Constance out there but I don't believe it is wise just yet. In fact I am not too sure they would let him go at all- if they knew you were going. Dorothy has done her darnedest to keep the youngsters away from folks who knew my family background - as she wants them to think that my folks didn't amount to much - only hers did. Haven't heard from Ruthie at all since we took her home. I have to work continuously on that angle as the ice is pretty thin. Am anxious for you & Connie to meet & hope you two will [[?]]. It should be mutually beneficial.
