My darling
Friday
I tried to get you over the phone this morning but Davis told me you had gone to New York. For the past three or four days I have been terribly homesick for you.
I have been on the verge of returning to East Hampton. I am feeling better but occassionally have some return of those pains in my chest.
Fred Thompson arrived yesterday to stay until Sunday. He is stopping at the Grand Union Hotel. To-night I am taking the Barklies, the Spaulding Jenkins—May Brown—Martin and Thompson out to dinner at Rileys.—
The rain has been awful—My Own went a bit lame and we had to cancel his engagement for the cup. It is a great disappointment but to have forced him might have put him out of training for the season. I’m not telling anyone about the lameness. They think we are not starting on account of bad track. Mr. Burch thinks he will be ready for the Jockey Club Gold Cup—and the Mile Race with Epinard
Sept. 27—Flying Comet is laid up for the year—
I am starting Rock Pocket to-day. The track is awful but she likes the mud. Go George Bond is to ride her much to his delight.
I tried to write this at the Barklies but was interrupted constantly and finally for lunch. I am now back over at #3 Mitchell St. and Fred Thompson is sitting here waiting for me to go to the races. Clayton is still in Washington driving for Thompson—The trip to the mountains fell through.
I don’t want to go the Races Monday, Belmont Park without you. I’d come straight home but I promised to BB Jones to see two patients for him Monday morning—also want to see Dr Russell about Sande—also Dr Connors about myself. Will phone you to-morrow. Love to the boys and a heart full for yr dear self
