Dear Marcia:–
Well after a little over 2 months from home I have finally received 3 letters from home that give the news up to May 16th. Of course I was glad to hear from you and to know that all were apparently as well as when I left. Psyche's measles is quite a joke since she made sport of me when I had them. I hope they didn't use her any harder than they did me. Helen's rheumatism, is I hope, over long before this. Hope that she and Alice escaped the measles. Am glad to hear that the baby's eye teeth are through and hope that her other teeth will not give her any trouble during the hot summer which is before you. Although the news from home is only about 3 weeks later than that I had there seems to be lots of it.
Am sorry to hear about the resignations and dismissals that have so suddenly fallen upon certain members of the Uni. faculty. In one case I partly expected something to occur, but had no idea that it was coming so soon. Hope that no more dismissals will occur right away. I have taken a great deal of interest in reading the Journal and Post clippings which you have sent. They show both sides of the affair. Don't know how I would have stood had I been at home; but am glad that I was where I couldn't take sides. I feel sorry for all parties concerned.

My work here is not progressing very rapidly, but it is winter now — equivalent to December 27th in the U.S. We are having rather heavy frosts every night now, and the air is damp with the cold southerly winds which sweep across the pampas from Patagonia and the other southern provinces of the Republic. I feel the cold very much, and have been obliged to buy heavy woolen underclothing and
