Dear Mary

 Older was here Saturday on his way to Washington. Only stopped a few hours but  is to stay longer on his return. It was good to see him.  Since [[?nday?] I have been to N.Y. when I had a [[?rilly] time. Spoke four times in two days.   As for me I enjoyed it.  Found a fine concert.  . There are nun? of us here than any where else. Mary if ? spoke of you & I made a great hit reading your letters which are the best ever.  Gertrude is very busy trying to fix the old thing night.  She is a lovely girl.  O yes she was marveling a little at how well I ented? and she said "You must have a wonderful Constitution,  I answered "Yes my constitution is all right but my bye laws might be improved."  What do you think?
