Dear Mary,

     Back again in New York after much gadding.   I didn't get a chance to write
but sent a telegram from Baltimore to let you know that I was thinking of you.

Pound two letters fron you, Doan had forwarded one to me in Baltimore which I
missed.   Vassar was l&vellgmd we were delightfully entertained there. There was
a dinner Friday night which Dr. Welsh and I missed.  We got there for the evening
reception and met many of the Vassar factuly.   The meeting was not exciting
for we gave no prize.   Then there was a dinner at Pres. McCracken's house, go
follwoed by a demonstration in the new Physics department rand then a tea. Dr. Welsh
and I got  a 5 o'clock train, had supper at a restaurant here in New York and
then I took the midnight train to Baltimore.

  Had breakfast with Dr. Sherwood and watched the trees just coming into leaf
from her windows, then on to the Hookers.   Dr. Wislocki and Dr. Langworthy came for
lunch and then Dr. Hooker took us for a drive, then dinneg bridge and the early
morning tain for Washington.

   Dr. White met me at the train and took me upt to the wonderful home of the
National Academy.   There was first a brief business meeting at which or rather
before which I met the President , the very distinguished Prof. Michelson the
physicist.   My but there were lots af well known people there.  Prof. Pupin,
Brof,. Millikin,  Dr. Merrian who is nov, president of the Carnegie.   Dr. Hale the
astronmmer gave a report on the new Hoover fund or proposed fund of 20,0000(80r
for research.

  The first days program was largely physicis and astronomy and the next.day
the tiiological subjects.   There 8.28 no very exciting paper but I enjoyed
the whole i%ing very much indeed.

  Tueday night t'nere was a dinner.   I invited Dr. and Mrs. White as my quests
and they had a very nice time.

Last night I had dinner with 2s. Mall and then took the midnight.

   I shall be glad of a nights sleep in my own bed.   Dr. Lialbn Welsh was here
when I came but went away this noon and is to return Saturday and Sunday and then
go back on Monday.   Unfortunately Cunningham is going to come for Saturday and
Sunday too.    Don't know what I shall do with the two of them.
         With love, ' #A
Hope that that old wound will heal soon.
