Dear Doctor:
Thank you for your fine letter of Oct. 30. I
hope Eleanor Roosevelt's visit at your place went smoothly
She is fine liberal, good hearted woman who has done
a great deal in setting an example for other people. She
is just about your own type and you no doubt have
many things in common.

You are always so terribly busy that I don't
see how you manage to keep on top all the time.

I am sorry to hear that Mrs. Thompson was
taken ill with the Flu while visiting with you at
Hill Top. She should come more often. You are
in dire need of somebody to look after things up
there on the hill! I wish I would hurry up and move!

Miss Rice and I are always ready for the right
kind of action - You know this is true. However,
I hesitate to make a decision of such vital importance
when I have no informaiton nor plan to go by.

The Rockford people are very slow and I get impatient
with the delay. Yet, we can never win in my case if we
are to fight the local people, along with everybody else.

We have to all get together. and I sincerely hope
that by the time you visit me, you will
be able to go on to Rockford and have a good
