Dear Jack:

I have been trying to get around to answering your letter about your visit to me some weekend in February or March. I have been so busy--that lawyer in N.Y., Mr. Oster, who is in charge of Doris's estate, has been after me to get every bank account I have in both our names changed so that they are in my name only. He wrote me that Doriss will was to leave money to a lot of people and some charities, and that the charities in particular were fighting to get the money. Now all Doris left were the bonds that I had bought and let her have the interest on them, about $36,000 in bonds, of which he could find only 2, and these he has cashed, leaving $26,000. This is all the money she had, and it was mine, and he is afraid that these charities, etc. will demand that the money in both our names be given them. So between going all around town to get the banks to drop her name and my regular work, I have been pretty busy. Oster has told me he is too busy to represent me as a lawyer, and he has given me the name of this other, and I have been trying to get him acquainted with the situation. 

Last week I finished up my end of the work and now it is for the two lawyers to do their share. And I am quite willing to stop. I shall welcome you any time you can come. Will you drive down or take the train or fly? It has been good weather here with no snow so far but cold weather. Some friends of mine have driven up to N.Y. and back and found all the roads in fine shape, both times that they have been up, during January. So I think you would have no trouble if you drive. You might have a chance then of taking up any of the stuff in the attic that you did not have room for earlier. Now remember you are welcome any time, and if you will only let me know when you plan to come I will try to get everything ready for you. 

With my love and best wishes,
