My dear Dr Allen

Thank you for your letter. It was nice to hear
from yous. I+ has been some time since I heard from
eur Lawrence friends and I trust everything is well
with "you all!

Mrs Doyle was taken very ill at the end of November--

just collapsed--but is considerably improved. She gets

very tired, but we try to keep her "put? a rather hard task,
as she wants to keep busy--and will to the end, I guess.

My son is now in New York, selling for a well known
lithograph firm. He made a seven-months tour of Europe last
year, much of it on a wheel, from Sweden to the Balkans,
and had an interesting time. The bicycle man of the Sun
asked him to write something of his tour and for the

last eight Saturdays they have been carrying instalments,
In recent pictures of some Albanian towns he showed me
houses in which he had been. He liked Sweden best of all
and says he would like to’live there. The Germans, too,
were most hospitable. It was interesting to him also to
find people in the most remote places who had at some
time or other lived in the States. Of course they were
most pleased to see him. |

I have noted what you wrote about Mr Kefith. Ossie had

put your name on it, but I shall substitute the right : a
author's. We shall send him a proof, as requested; in fact, |
we seually do unless it is a last minute article. \

Well, again thank you, Dr Allen, and with my best for
Mrs Allen, and.of course yourself--
