 Oyster Bay, June %, 1908. Quentin is really too funny for any thing. He got his legs fearfully sun burned the other day. and they blis- tered, became inflamed and ever faith full mother had to hold clinic on him Eyeing his blistered and scarlet legs he remarked, They look like a Turner sunset, don't they?" And then after 8 pause, 'I won't be caught again this way, ouoth the raven. .Nevernore. , was not surprised at his quoting Poe but I would like to know where the To- year-old scamp picked up any knowl- edge of Turner's sunsets.
 Quentin and the Pigs White House, Oct. r, 1908. Dearest Kermit:
 Quentin performed characteristic feat yesterday. He heard that Schmidt, the animal man, wanted a small pig, and decided that he would turn an honest penny by supplying the want. So out in the neighborhood of his school he called on an elderly darky who, he had seen, possessed little pigs; bought one; popped it into a bag, astutely lodged the school-having q we'll founded distrust of how the boys would feel toward his passage with the pig-and took the car for home. By that time the pig had freed itself from the bag, and. as he explained, he jour neyed in with a small squealish pig under his arm; but as the conductor was a friend of his he was not put off. He bought it for a dollar and sold it to Schmidt for a dollar and quarter, and feels as if he had found a per manent line of business. Schmidt then festooned it in red ribbons and sent it to parade the streets. I gather that Quentin led it around for part of the parade but he was somewhat vague on this point, evidently being a little un- certain to our approval of the move.
 Presidential Fall
 White House, Nov. 8, 1908. Dearest Archie:
 Quentin is getting along very well; he plays center on his football eleven, and in match for juniors in tennis he got into the semi finals. What is more important. he seems to be doing very we'll with his studies. and to get on well with the boys, and is evidently beginning to like the school. He has shown himself very manly. Kermit is home now, and is perfect dear.
 The other day while taking a scram- ble walk over Rock Creek, when I came to that smoothfac of rock which we get round by holding on to the little bit of knob that we call the button, the top of this button came off between my thumb and forefinger. l hadn't supposed that I was putting much weight on it, but evidently I was. for I promptly lost my balance, and finding I was falling. sprang out into Ia h fey n and the water was rather shallow, but landed all right and didn't hurt my self the least bit in the world.
 More About Quentin
 White House, Nov. p, 1908. Dearest Archie:
 I handed your note and the two dollar bill to Quentin, and he was per fectly delighted. It came in very handy because poor Quentin has been in bed with his leg in a plaster cast. and the two dollars I think went to make up a fund with which he purchased a fas- little steam engine. which has been a great source of amusement to him. He is out today visiting some friends. although his leg is still in cast. He has a great turn for me- chanics.
 White House. Nov. 27, 1908. Blessed Archie:
 It is fine to hear from you and to
 
 Quentin, I am happy to say. is now devoted to his school He feels that he is a real Episcopal high school boy, and takes the keenest in terest in everything. Yesterday Day, he had various friends here. His leg was out of plas- ter and there was nothing he did not do. He roller skated; he practiced he had engineering work and electrical work; he went all around the city; he. romped all over the White House; he went to the slaughter house and got pig for Thanksgiving dinner
 Ethel is perfectly devoted to Ace, who adores her. The other day he was lost for little while: he had gone off on side street and unfortunately saw a cat in a stable and rushed in and killed it, and they had him tied up there when one of our men found him.
