Phil Knox, as capable and efficient as he is diminutive, amused Mother and me greatly by the silent way in which he did in first rate way his full share of all the work. To morrow the National Convention meets, and barring a cataclysm I shall be nominated.

ing. The roads were good and some of the scenery really beautiful. We were gone four hours, half an hour being occupied with the scrambling in the gorge. Saturday we went to the wedding of Teddy Douglas and Helen. It was a beautiful wedding in every way and I am very fond of both of them. Sunday we spent at Attorney-General Knox's at Valley Forge, and most unexpectedly I had to deliver a little address at the church in the afternoon, as they are trying to build a memorial to Washington. Think of the fact that in Washington's army that winter among the junior officers were Alexander Hamilton, Monroe and Marshall--a future President of the United States, the future Chief Justice who was to do such wonderful work for our Government, and the man of most brilliant mind--Hamilton--whom we have ever developed in this country. ON THE EVE OF NOMINATION FOR PRESIDENT White House, June 21, 1904. DEAR KERMIT: We spent to-day at the Knoxes'. It is a beautiful farm--just such a one as you could run.
