He is a funny small person if ever there was one. The other day we were discussing a really dreadful accident which had happened; a Georgetown young man having taken out a young girl in a canoe on the river, the canoe upset and the girl was drowned; whereupon the young man, when he got home, took what seemed to us an exceedingly cold blooded method of a special delivery letter to notify her parents.

ecovered from the effects of having his eye operated upon, and though the eye itself is a somewhat gruesome object, Ted is in the highest spirits. He goes back to Harvard to-day. . . . . . As I write, Archie and Quentin are busily engaged in the sand-box and I look out across the tennis-ground at them. If ever there was a heaven-sent treasure to small boys, that sand-box is the treasure. It was very cunning to see the delight various little children took in it at the egg-rolling on Easter Monday. Thanks to our decision in keeping out grown people and stopping everything at one o'clock, the egg-rolling really was a children's festival, and was pretty and not objectionable this year. The apple trees are now coming into bloom, including that big arched apple tree, under which Mother and I sit, by the fountain, on the stone bench. It is the apple tree that Mother particularly likes. . . Did Quentin write his poems after you had gone? I never can recollect whether you have seen them or not. ING AS POSSIBLE HE HAS COMPLETELY RECOVERED FROM THE EFFECTS OF HAVING HIS EYE OPERATED UPON AND THOUGH THE EYE ITSELF IS A SOMEWHAT GRUESOME OBJECT TAD IS IN THE HIGHEST SPIRITS HE GOES BACK TO HARVARD TO DAY AS I WRITE ARCHY AND QUINTON ARE BUSILY ENGAGED IN THE SAND BOX AND I LOOK OUT ACROSS THE TENNIS GROUND AT THEM IF EVER THERE WAS A HEAVEN SENT TREASURE TO SMALL BOYS THAT SAND BOX IS THE TREASURE IT WAS VERY CUNNING TO SEE THE DELIGHT VARIOUS LITTLE CHILDREN TOOK IN IT AT THE EGG ROLLING ON EASTER MONDAY THANKS TO OUR DECISION IN KEEPING OUT GROWN PEOPLE AND STOPPING EVERYTHING AT ONE O'CLOCK THE EGG ROLLING REALLY WAS A CHILDREN'S FESTIVAL AND WAS PRETTY AND NOT OBJECTIONABLE THIS YEAR THE APPLE TREES ARE NOW COMING INTO BLOOM INCLUDING THAT BIG ARCHED APPLE TREE UNDER WHICH MOTHER AND I SIT BY THE FOUNTAIN ON THE STONE BENCH IT IS THE APPLE TREE THAT MOTHER PARTICULARLY LIKES DID QUINTON WRITE HIS POEMS AFTER YOU HAD GONE I NEVER CAN RECOLLECT WHETHER YOU HAVE SEEN THEM OR NOT
