Dear Mary:
I have enjoyed immensely your letter, received this morning, and the story it tells of your work at Butler and your later work with the infant in your ward. It is a wonderful thing to be able to help those who are in trouble, whether that trouble be physical or mental, and I take immense satisfaction in the thought that you are going to be able to do just that among your own people in China in the years that still lie before you.
So Arthur is a happy father! How the time flies, and how fast we all grow up! When you write him, give him my personal congratulations and good wishes, please.
I hope you will be able to see something of Tom. Evidently he is a good bit homesick in New Haven, if I am to judge from the letters he has written me. and that is natural enough. He filled a big place in the life of the college at Middlebury, and the change is of the kind that is bound to bring something of a jolt. Tom's record at Middlebury was on the whole a fine one, much better, I think, in every way than I had dared hope it would be. But I was still hoping and believing, too, that after he gets adjusted at New Haven he will have a profitable and a happy experience there.
When I am next down your way, which I hope will be soon, I shall certainly try to look you both up. In the meantime, success and the best of luck to you.
Ever sincerely yours,
