GENERAL CORRESPONDENCE 

Williams, Mary B. N.               (Dec. 1884) & Sept. 1888Father ever told you, how very well he did in College
last winter.  He took the "English Prize" and
in Athletics he did remarkably well, being the
sixth strongest man ever examined in the
University.  I hope no one but yourself will see
this letter as I am sure it would bore anyone
else to read it but knowing your love for Churchill
I have not hesitated to "brag" a little - With love
from the boys and hoping you may scrawl a
line just to prove you have not forgotten Your Friend
Mary B. H. Williams


Kind regards to
Mrs. Davis -

My Dear Mr. Whitman
   Frank and I read
your "Old Age's Lambent Peaks"
yesterday afternoon as we
sat together by the Sea and
we thought and spoke
much of you as we often do.
Dear Friend - I wish that you
could be with us to enjoy on these, to me, beautiful grey
afternoons when there is no
glare from the sun, few
people. so that one may
be almost alone on the
quiet beach and have
only one's thoughts and
the sounding sea -
I think you will be interested
to know that my cousin, of
whom I have made mention
to you as being intimate with
the Lewes household, has

just returned from England where he has talked
much of you. He is one of Frank's converts
to the Whitman side and is now most enthusiastic
and fairly raves about you -
When is the new book to be out I hope it will
be a great success?  You will be sorry, I am sure,
to hear that Churchill has had Typhoid Fever
he is quite recovered however by this time
and is growing very stout. I dont suppose hisPOSTAL CARD.
NOTHING BUT THE ADDRESS CAN BE PLACED ON THIS SIDE.
