Letter to the Secretary

Your letter of the 12th was really enjoyed. It is gratifying to know that another retiree has let himself in for more than the time of such a person, at the particular stage of life, can easily master. I do not sympathize with you, but I do understand.

Oldsters here do play bridge until evening and we are regularly engaged with them in that. We have finally mastered some of the local adaptations of the masters' rules and do not offend our partner as often, as at first.

They drew me into the Kentucky Historical Society and the schedule is that I will be President next year. The last legislature and the present Governor are more interested and liberal with funds and we are busy and will be for another year putting into effect the approved new and expanded old functions. For example, one of the new functions is micro-filming the records of the 120 counties from their organization, some before 1800, and storing them. That was assigned to us rather than the State Records and Archive Commission. The Society is located in the Old State Capitol building and now occupies the entire space.
