Dearest Trudie
Aboard the train I found many acquaintances—The Pulman Conductor and two colored porters, I speak of them in the order I met them and not according to rank—Next, William Philips, assistant Secretary of State and Reginald Huidekoper—I read about 100 pages of your book and slept unusually well considering the amount of sleep I enjoyed at Narragansett—arrived on time and found Mr. Ross waiting breakfast. While I feel quite homesick for you and the boys, I am grateful for a very happy visit.
I read the welcome news of Fluvanna’s easy victory over the best fillies of the year and that her part of the Astoria purse amounted to $4,925. Notwithstanding, the future penalties in weight I am glad she won.
I am to lunch with the Wilson’s. By telephone, they say he is alright but wants to see me, I am going there for one thirty lunch. Regie Huidekoper says Mr. Glover Sr., is quite ill with an attack of gall stones. He is at York Harbor.
Mitchell Palmer called me saying that I would have to go to Wilmington, Del. to testify in that government chemical case. The enclosed check is your savings in the association of Army & Navy Stores—My best love to you, the boys and Zoona,
Your most affectionate running mate
