papers which I believe you said were personal.

Yes, I think the meeting in Waterville should be a good one. We are all looking forward to it and Mr. Griffeth is so enthusiastic he does I am sure it will be a grand success.

Everything seems to be [illegible] along fairly smoothly with one or two major blows mixed in for good measure, just to keep me from being too complacent, one of them being your contemplated removal of the precious maps!

My chief ambition at present is to leave this place without leaving any letterhead bearing my name! I am still using up Henry Dunnack's and we just completed crossing out on/7,000 letterheads sheets bearing Mr. Hall's name, a line which no longer applies! So much we are doing for the poor tax payers of Maine who still insist we are wasteful.

I shall be glad to see you when you come as I have not had a glance all summer.

Sincerely,
