Tuesday.
Dearest,
The President is better to-day. I am very happy to say. The Board met yesterday morning at ten o’clock. I don’t have to read over all the papers as last year as I kept my records—but I do have to go over the records pertaining to the past twelve months—It is very hot and sticky here. The riots were awful last night, as you no doubt, have read accounts in the newpapers, but I think the situation is in better hands for to-night—I certainly hope so. The President got busy about the arrangements for protection to-day. I saw Clements this afternoon. He is taking good care of the 1600—I gave him $2000 with which to buy some fertilizer for the grass—also for the flower beds; mending the mower and etc. I never saw the yards; cellar and all look so clean. His room is a great contrast from the way it looked when Wm Jones occupied it.
I am hoping to come back to you in about ten days, no plans are definite as to the Western Trip, I am hoping it will be postponed until August 15th at least. I had lunch with Grasty to-day at the Metropolitan Club. We arranged an article on Quitters—but did not complete it.
Every one enquires for you and the boys. I think my answers are quite sensible about all three of you, I do miss you and both of those dear little fellows so much. I love you all three very, very dearly and my darling Trudie with all my heart.The President and Mrs. Wilson talk so sweetly about you and want to know everything about the boys—
Ever your devoted
