(INSERT)

I bemoaned the fact, in writing my wife, that she and my sister Beulah had seen the Adirondacks under most unfavorable circumstances, because the short time that they were there when they drove me to Paul Smith's for my summer with the President and the Marines, it rained and the visibility was almost nil. I wished they had seen it under the favorable circumstances, conditions in which I had.

I was so pleased, as I have stated, to live in the camp, for I would not wish to have lived at Paul Smith's. There were too many people, ones of varied interests, didn't seem to have brought out looks and vision, and there was too much gossip of rather a petty sort, but for a breather it was delightful to go there, because I liked many of them very much. I enjoyed dancing from time to time there. The food was not nearly as good as was procurable on Saranac Lake and other resorts.
