User-Contributed Transcription We had such a grand time at Amherst that we dream of going again. Only 7 of my class there - most of the others gone to Jesus or unable to move under their own power. From Amherst we went to Maine for 8 days w/ Scott & Helen nearing working hard on their farm & evenings helping mail announcements of their new book - due Oct 14 Then back to NY for 3 weeks or so w/dear old friends in NY & Paterson (where I was once I.W.W. (!) organizer among the silk workers. we were royally treated - on the go every minute. We saw the Russian folk dancers at Madison Sq. Garden! - 18,000 cheering then "to the echo"! Then a week in Wash, DC & reunions w/old friends - 14 of them at a "Chinese" supper &c &c. Thence to Ga. - nearly 36 hours in auto, bus & jitney (our funds very low) Were we tired! But we jumped in & worked hard for 3 wks to get the weeds &c under control How we wish you cd visit us there! Very primitive "conveniences" but a heavenly view and a bracing climate (at least every night). We'll probably be there till late Oct caring for the fruit & nut trees set out last winter & preparing for more to come next winter. There's our story up to date We hope your knee and your general health are better our warm love to you from Fred & Bertie Blossom
