Wanda is hard at work at college, and I with High School.
We had a delightful visit with the Merriams two weeks ago, but they only stayed one day. The Docter had some beautiful pictures which he showed us. The [Gannetts?] returned from the Philippianes about three weeks ago, and hurried home to Washington so we did not see them.
Dr. Merriam said Dr. [Gannett?] was much pleased with the Philippiane Islands.
