NEW YORK CITY, JUNE 12, 1925. DEAR BILL :- I have intended to write to you for some time with reference to your leaving your position as coach of football at the University of Missouri to coach at Rutgers. I was over to New Brunswick yesterday and saw Grissing's baseball nine. After the game he suggested that we go for a spin in Higgin's racer. Higgins builds them in Detroit, and they are mod- eled after his own boat. He has an enormous plant. We stopped over at Jake Albert's law oflice but he was so busy that we did not stay long. He told us that the offices of Conklin Sz Riorden, Expert Ac- countants, were on the Hoor above and that Dan had grown about half an inch. Professor Bleecker, at Princeton, had been at the game and was angry that Princeton had lost to Rutgers and as we drove along Brissing laughed in glee at thots of him. While we were waiting at a crossing, I saw two men talking excitedly to each other, apparently intent on con- vincing each other. Krohnfthe famous politician, seemed to be gaining an advantage when the traflic cop waved us across. Left Rutgers at 7. Millard dropped in at my office this morning just back from a tour down South with his theatrical troup of which Gladys MacDonald is leading lady. Glad Lenton seems to have gone to China as a mis- sionary. Herb Staub has settled down in Caldwell and still is a runner-for trains. Inez Keyler has a beautiful bungalow with a private landing for a canoe. Bertha Rowe is financing a back to the land project and Lillie Weissman is conducting the business end of it. I hear that Gladys Gaffney is one of the Bloomfield belles. I hope to hear from you soon about the Rutger's proposition, until then, Your old friend, PERRY MOORE. JUNE 13, 1925. DEAR BILL :- I have such astounding news for you that I can't even wait to write a polite introduction to my letter, such as Miss Wyman would have me do were I back in B. H. S. Hold tight now! Gable Schwab is king of the pigmies over in Africa, and what's more, his kingdom is now engaged in a Civil War! There! The worst is over so you can let go now while I tell you that I got this news from our old classmate Hazel Harris. She sent me a letter telling me that she and Rita Goggin were over there acting as Red Cross nurses. She says that they are warring over the silly little question of ship subsidies! Gable, of course, wants the ships subsidized. To think that a war could result from such a petty question! Hazel says the war is something atrocious-if it weren't for Charlotte Conley helping out financially so gen- erously she thinks the pigmies would have been starved long ago. Well, I say good for Charlotte! She certainly carried out her principle of earning money, didn't she? But that is not the only place

ngwv-we M1wgvv'+:p-hr-'ff' won't write any more until I reach 'Frisco. Im going to 'Frisco by a southern route as I have some relatives in southern California and I shall spend a few days with them MARTHA JUNE 13 1925 In Frisco at last and I guess I won t write again until I'm on my way back, because I m going to engoy every minute in the day out here. It's the prettiest place I've ever seen I had a very lovely time in southern California The second day I was there, my cousin asked me if I would like to see the Model Ranch. I assented and he took me along the pretty country road to the ranch which was a pretty place with roses grow- ing all around the porch. I asked to whom it be- longed and he said that Mr. Austin Rice was the owner and that he certainly was a lovely man. I said that I knew him well, so we went in. Austin happened to be at home, so we had a nice hour talk- ing about old acquaintances. Austin said that Syl Thomas was a prosperous farmer out there and was editing The Hicksville Hearth Handy Book, which was to keep the farm- ers well posted on affairs of the day. I wondered why a man with such possibilities buried himself in such a small town, but evidently he's a big man in Hicksville.

She certainly will go down in history as the twentieth century philanthropist. ' But then she is not the only one in the class who has been making money. There is a vaudeville trio here that holds the interest of every Chicagoite. They are Colfax, N icoll and Reidenaur. Noble does the stunts, Sadie the monologing and Grace sits up in the gallery and starts the giggling and applause. Ha! Have you heard of Gertrude Lauffer lately? Well she is pulling in her share of the world's pork-bar- rel by selling the most delicious cookies to the school children who bring their lunches. Well they need something delicious, poor wretches! I well re- member when I had to bring my lunch Kitty Ekman is doing her share of helping Chi- cago too. She is at the head of the tree planting committee and believe me there isn't a street in all Chicago that hasn't been decorated Now when I come to think of it there are two more of our class that I know are Chicagoites, Vera Lamb and Ruth Ayres. Vera is the Chicago stylist-no- body is considered in fashion here unless they wear a Lamb robe du soir. Ruth is a business Woman she controls one of the largest business concerns in Chicago. I My gracious! When I get talking about our class- mates there is no telling where I'm going to stop-I may as well continue and get it out of my system. I Was going to tell you about Mildred Demarest and Dorothy Asbury. They are pal artists and have the cutest little Bohemian studio out in the country you ever saw. They are just about as interesting to visit as Martha Hock is in hers. She's married, you know, and lives in one of the suburbs, has a beauti- ful garden, leads the camp-fire girls and manages the basketball team of the village school and talks just as much as ever. But say, I Wish I knew what the rest of the class were doing. I don't know a thing about B. H. S. except that Helen Gregory has revolutionized the Latin course Please let us hear something soon and relieve the curiosity of an old schoolmate Victoria Edland P S -I hear that Helen Brady has taken about 250 degrees of different kinds-but I won t attempt to write them here on this letter would have to be published 1n two volumes instead of one She IS still trying for more PALM BEACH AUGUST 25 1925 DEAR BILL -- At last I m on the journey that I ve always hoped to be able to make to the beautiful southland and am enjoying every minute of lt One surprise and delight followed another and I couldn t begin to tell 1 . . 1 1 , 1 , 1 1 - U J 1 0 . , u ii i W o iw 1 wi IIIIIIUJJIMIIWNIMIIWJIWJIIIHIMWHIHIMWMMIllllIIlllllVH!IIMWWIIWIIIllIIWWAMlIllllII lMMWMIIIIMIIIIMlllllHIMIIIIIMlIllIllHIIMIIIIIMIIllHillIFNMIIIIHIMIIIIIMIIIIlIll!IIIHMIIIIIMMIIMIIlMilIIIllllIIIMMVMWIIIlIIMIIllWIIIIllIIIIWYMllllllWHIHHIIIlllllIIllllllWHIWlllllllIIIMIIIIW1MINIIII1IIIIIMilII1HPMIWHlllMHHMlIHWHMHUIHMHMl
