Dearest Trudie
Your dear little note came this morning as a surprise and it made me happy to have news from you and the darling little fellows. The sad news about the death of Gordon’s little rabbit made me feel sad and an almost irresistable desire to wire Gordon that not to worry I would get him another rabbit. Kiss all the boys for me and tell Gordon that he is going to have lots of rabbits, pigeons and other things when we move into our country home. And Cary and William are going to have lots of them, too.
I miss you and those fellows more than you can imagine and I am counting the days when we all can be together again. I loved every minute of my visit an at East Hampton. And you, my darling, were so sweet and patient with me—
My return home was un-eventful except the train broke down in the Baltimore tunnel. A freight engine backed us out. It rained hard all Monday. To-day, has been clear and cool. I walked to my office at nine o’clock. All seemed glad to have me back. Brook’s from the White House brought me a bunch of beautiful pink roses. There were several fusses during my absence.
I saw to a number of old patients. Motored out to see Dr Rixey who is contemplating another operation. Lunched at the Shoreham with Fred Thomspon; returned to the Dispensary at two & then went to see Dr Axson at four at the Benedick. His trip to Ohio was a failure. He is off badly. I got Mr. Ross’ Lincoln, and we or went out to Bennings to see the colts—all doing well. and from there to Highland Manor. The Watchman was seated in the front door. I was much pleased with the looks of things. The tar paper is on the roof, ready for the slate. You will, I am sure, be satisfied with the looks of things when you see. It all looks much better than the prints. The whole place is lovely and stately in apperance notwithstanding all the construction that is taking place. You will love it more than ever when you see it.
I called by to see Miss Edith. To my surprise Scott informed me they were expected to arrive in Stockbridge to-day,—that was yesterday, and planned to be home next Monday.
My big trunk went astray but arrived safely to-day.
I had to be examined to-day to be declared fit for duty. Every one thinks I look fine, fit and fat. Mr. Burch reports progress with My Own. He walked a mile very well to-day in the mud—a track of mud and water—Love to Zoona—Dearest love to you, my precious and the boys—
Cary
P.S. Davis has telephoned and given me direct morning news from you all. We are often up the house in the morning. He said Gordon said I had promised him a dollar for the rabbit and has helped Gordon to bear the disappointment a bit.
