Dearest
I called you over the phone, but you had just gone out. Mrs. King assured me that you all were all right. I had a hurried but pleasant trip to Saratoga. It was worth it to be able help Keogh. He is going and will be riding again in about ten days. The jinx continues to hang over our stable. Gnome is doing well but Mr. Burch did not think he was quite fit to do himself justice, so we did not start in him in the big race Saturday. We are longing for the big stakes and purses at Laurel & Pimlico. I arrived Saratoga morning and left afternoon & got here at seven o’clock this a.M. Senator Key Pittman went with me as far as New York. He had expected to go to Saratoga but could not—as he he had to alter his plans after arriving in New York.
Mr. WA Glasgow of Philadelphia was there with BMB He is fine company and enjoyed the experience immensely but made no money. He sent his special regards to you & Gordon. To-night I come here for dinner. General Lassiter & I dined together. He has just been ordered here for du duty with the General Staff. He is nice. He relinquishes command of Camp Knox, outside of Louisville, Ky. Henry Fletcher, Fredie Hindekaber and Eliot Wadsworth joined us at the dinner table. This is the first time I have dined here since you left—All’s going well at 2340 S. Street.
Miss E. tells me that her niece—Rolph Bolling’s daughter in Panmama cabled yesterday that triplets were born. She has named one Edith Bolling—Mildred & Mary Stuart?. Three girls. Think of it. I don’t know what to say to Rolfe & Mrs. B. but I rather feel sorry for them; but I suppose it is an occasion of rejoicing.
It is very warm here. Dr Taylor wrote me the finest things Mrs. T. & the girls were saying about you & the boys. You in particular. You made a great hit.
I am going to bed early to-night as I am a bit tired after my trip and last night on the Sleeping car—
Love to the boys and a big heartfull for my darling Trudie—
