 The Editor. chriatmas Present to His Old Nurse. s Gro Mrs. Dora Watkins) White House, Dec 19, 1905. DEAR DOLLY:
 wish you merry Christmas. and want you to buy whatever you think you would like with the enclosed check for twenty dollars. It is now just forty years since you stopped being my nurse, when I was little boy of seven, just one year younger than Quentin now is.
 I wish you could see the children play here in the White House ! grounds. For the last three days there has been snow, and Archie and Quentin and their cousin, cunning little Sheffield Cowles. and their otn- CT cousin. Mr. John Eliott's little girl, Helena who is a perfect little dear, have been having all kinds of romp'' in the snow-coasting, having snow ball fights, and doing everything-in lfhe grounds back of the White House. This coming Saturday afternoon I have agreed to have a great play of hide-and- go seek in the White Hous' ! itself. not only with these children I but with their various small friends. Dickens and Thaekeray White House, Feb 3, 1906. DEAR KERMIT: '.- ] I agree pretty well with your views l of David Copperfield Dora was very cunning and attractive, but I am not sure that the husband would retain enough respect for her to make life ! quite what it ought to be with her. i. This is a harsh criticism and 1 have 1 known plenty women of the Dora type ! type whom I have felt were good ! deal better than the men they mar { ried. and I have seen them some | times make very happy, homes. l 1 also feel as you do that if a man had i to struggle on and make his way it [ would be great, deal better to have some one like Sophie. Do you recol lect that dinner at which David Cop perfield and Traddles were, where they are described as seated at the dinner, one 'in the glare of the red velvet lady" and the other ''in the ! gloom of Hamlet's aunt? I am SC glad you like Thackeray 'Penden his" and "The Newcomes" and Van ity fair" I can read over and over again.
 Ted blew in today I think he has I been studying pretty well this term q and now he is through all his ex aminations but one. He hopes, and :, do that you will pay what attention you can to athletics. Play hockey flor instance. and try to get into shape for the mile run know it i: too short a distance for you, but i you will try for the hare and hounds be able to try for the two miles whef you go to Harvard.
 The weather was very mild earl, in the week. It has turned cold now
 but mother and had good ride yes terday. and Ted and I good rid, 'hA~ oANCiiiOOAlf Cei Oll NiGy DdN IT We have been having perfect whir of dinner engagements; but thanl heavens they will stop shortly aftei sisters wedding.

 White House, March II, 1906. , DEAR KERMIT:
 l agree pretty much 10 all you views both about Thackeray anC Dickens. although you care for somt of Thackery of which 1 am not per sonally fond. Mother loves it ali
 Mother, by the way, has been read ing "The Legend of Montrose" to the little boys and they are absorbed il it. She finds it hard to get anythin: that will appeal to both Archie anc Quentin, as they possess such differ cn5 natures.
 am quite proud of what Archi, did the day before yesterday. Som, of the bigger boys were throwing baseball around outside of Mir Sid wells school and it hit one of then square in the eye, breaking all tho
