Hope that Seba may have a principalship in a school not too far away from home so that she can live with you and the children during the winter. You would have quite a lonesome time of it if she couldn't.

I suppose the children had a great time at West Point — all three of them. Psyche and Helen I know had. About the baby I know less, for she was just beginning to be somebody when I left. She must be cute now, running all about and talking everything. Wish that I could see her and the others too. Their pictures are quite a comfort to me down here, and I look at them quite often too. By the way, I did not happen to get a picture of yourself among my things when I so hastily packed up. Couldn't you send me one — a card sized one as that would go in my pocket case.

A great deal of what you seem quite anxious to hear about concerning the country, people and myself has been written in former letters which you will have had before this reaches you.

I have nothing to say further about U. of N. matters. Was glad to have the clippings about commencement week. Should very much have liked
