Thursday May 3rd My dear friend

I return “Harold” & the “Coach & Four” to No Number 23 today. They won’t do. There is a certain amount of cleverness & interest in both – especially the latter: but they are above the usual circulating library level. & I can’t honestly advise you to them. –

Thanks for such a bundle of book books to my library. –

How is your wife? I do hope mending. And Mrs. Macmillan? I have hoped to hear of her if she can come out to Wildwood for a day. –

I so enjoyed my quiet dinner & chat with you both. –

Ever yours sincerely DMM
