Letter from Heermans
Kingston, N. York.
Dec. S, 1917.

Dec. 5, 1917.
Mr.. VIM. A Robinson,
Editor Washburn Times,
My dear Billy:
This is letter to all my Washburr
friends, if you have time and space
for it, and it should honestly begir
with the statement that we have
thought, talked, and longed much
for our old home and friends there.
1t is somewhat over month since
the Secretary and his family, per-
sonally escorted to the train by Mr.
and Mrs. F. w. Downs. left the
scenes of good old Bayfield, county
behind us as the afternoon train sped
away. That there were tears in oul
eyes is a. wholesome confession, fol-
Washburn was to us a real home and
it's people real friends.
Something of our travels may moi
be uninteNesting to the scores who
proved their friendship. Mrs. Sec

where they arrived in safety on the
Tuesday following. Because ! founc

This was the 6rst visit of my two


western girls to the nation S
capital and the eastern metropolis.
Jane was most interested in Mount
Vernon and she was thinking and
talking of Mis- Ungrodt, her WASH
burn school teacher, all the time
while at George Washington S
ancient home Al d at his tomb. Her
first knowledge of the Father of
His Country" in historical way was
gained l.. Miss Ungrodt's school
room. The wife was most impressed
by the Washington monument. that
noble shaft of granite, towering $50
feet into the sky, and made the trip
up and back in the elevator, requir-
ing 80 minutes. The little girl and
remained on terra frma. Jane had
severe and for three days an alarm
ing, sick spell in Colorado and we
feared to have her go up in the
monument. | had made the inter-
esting and thrilling ascension some
years before.
President and Mrs. Wilson were
busy the morning we passed the
White House, and only waved at us
from the windows. Had they known
we were coming, / am sure they
would have had US up for tea or
something. Seriously, no one is al
lowed. within the White House
grounds these dcys.
The Secretary left Minneapolis
Monday, Nov. and left via Pitts
burgh for part of one day at home,
then to Philippsburg, Pa. where he
met with board who offered him
the secretaryship. Then back to
Morgantown for part of another day
and thence, via Washington to New
Bern, North Carolina, where another
offering awaited him. Came to this
place after visiting one or two other
points en- route and instantly decided
on Kingston, provided the Kingston
board would decide on him.
The arrangements were concluded
here in a couple of days and the
Secretary returned to West Virginia
to await the family and had week S
fine visit with parents, a sister and
her children. The story of picking
up his family there and returning to
Kingston, has been given. We ar
rived here on Nov. &c and ate
Thanksgiving dinner at hotel. 1t
consisted of turkey and lots of good
things, but lacked the good cheer Of
home" and we talked much of the
happy days in our Washburn
bungalow.
We struck good luck when | was
