Dearest
I was delighted to receive your telegram saying you all arrived safely and that you really like the house and East Hampton.
While I miss you and those dear little fellows more than I can express; yet, I am truly glad you left yesterday. The temperature is 105—all night I was in a drenching persperation.
Ethel showed up at at the station at 9.15 and Mason located her. Next time she will perhaps, remember that trains don’t wait fifteen minutes.
We closed the house this morning and, I think, everything is satisfactory. I filled out the card for forwarding the mail etc.
I had dinner last night at this Club with Sterling Ruffin. He was more than considerate, kind and helpful about my ills. I went to his office where he examined my heart etc. He thinks a rest will he most helpful—several months. Davis moved my goods and chattels over to Mr. Ross’.
I fear you had a very hot and fatiguing trip to East Hampton. How did Clayton and Grayson pass through New York? A storm is now approaching and not a breath of air stiring. Remember Mr. Ross’ number is 2324—and telephone is North 4286. I am anxiously awaiting news from you and the boysin th either by telegram or letter.
Give my love Zoona and Mac—With much warm love, my dearest,
Cary
