Round Robin is a welcome visitor to me whenever it comes as it affords me an opportunity for college contacts which I have lost through the years. The news which I shall add has no great interest but it has the merit of passing on the contact to the 'unseen audience'!

Home affairs have submerged me for several years, due in large measure to my mother's invalidism until her death last April. Business affairs, too, from time to time have absorbed me.

Throughout this stay at home period I have done some studying in an effort to keep abreast of the times, devoting most of my reading to World Affairs. The high point to this effort was a summer at the Williamstown Institute of Politics in 1926, an experience almost too far in the past to mention in this 1930 Robin except that it has proved a stimulus for much reading since then and provides a goal for a second adventure in the future.

My travels have been restricted more or less by the circumstances which I have mentioned. An occasional trip to New Orleans, or to Chicago when I dared to get a bit farther from home, or some place within a limited radius of home, about sums up this type of experience. I did have rather a broad jump this past summer, spending two days in Boston while on a two weeks trip East, and in August and September spending six weeks in Glenwood Springs, Colorado.

My sister, Mary Enochs Nugent, and I live in the family residence with my mother's sister who has made her home with us for the past ten years. We shall probably be at home for the greater part of this year.

I hope to attend the 1903 reunion, though I cannot make definite plans as I write this note. I trust, though, that I shall have the pleasure of seeing many of you in Baltimore if I should be so fortunate as to be with the 1903 group then.

I am sending Robin on the way with my best wishes for all. I shall look forward to a return message with such interest.
Sincerely yours,

January 29, 1930
