with one of his colds. I think he needs a good long vacation. Perhaps we should have gone to Manila and Japan with Mr. B[illegible]ham, but "Willie" dreaded the long sea trip.
I have thought so long of making you a visit but I seem to have been tied up at home just as much as you are for the last two years. Is Wanda graduated yet? It seems a shame we have seen so little of her. I know she

must have been enjoying her college day -
My sister is in her own house now and my mother has gone back to hers, so Mr Keith and I are alone again and we have a couple of spare rooms, whenever you can come, any or all of you to stay over night. Dont put it off too long. We shall all be dead soon if you do-
Thanking you all
