To Mary Williams Winslow
Colonial Club
Cambridge, Massachusetts. March 1, [1911]
Dear Mrs Winslow—I shall be delighted to come next Tuesday, the 7th at half past seven. It is nice to know that you are well again, as your writing implies. As to your new son, I daresay he is a model of all a child should be, but for my part I am too prosaic and disillusioned to lavish any more unrequited affections upon objects unconscious of my regard.
