body will come. and we can have our
swimming pool, SO please come"

saying that the boys were very much
disappointed because they had heard

boys to think / am not interested in
their getting swimming pool. have
used swimming pools myself in my
time, and there are one or two swim
ming pools in the creek out near Gale
donia, o., that 1 would like to get in
to again right now, if it were possible.
You tell the boys that I hope the
ball Will raise all the money that Is
needed to provide the pool and that If
some Of you will come to the White
House with some tickets, I will buy
some, whether / can attend or not.
