Dearest
I have quit Saratoga and come to Williamstown to attend the Institute of Politics. Heard a lecture last night by Count Teleki on the causes of the Racial Confusion in Hungary. It was a great contrast from the lectures which I have been attending at Saratoga, but not so thrilling.
Seriously, Baruch was a contributor to the Institute of Politics which is something new; many distinguish men of international reputation are here to give a definite number of lectures on International subjects. Among them is Lord Bryce—
We motored over yesterday afternoon after witnessing the third race in which Knot was defeated by a nose in one of the most thrilling, hair breadth finishes seen at Saratoga this summer. It was a hard race to lose but such things are to be expected.
We are returning to Saratoga this afternoon.
It is lovely here at Williamstown. When I see all these fine expensive buildings, my thoughts constantly to poor old William & Mary.
The weather is very cool. Open Big wood fire in the main hall of the hotel.
Hope all is going well with you and the dear little fellows. I miss you a lot.
My best love to the dearest & fairest of all girls in the world—my darling Trudie—
