Nov. 20, 1907. Dear Mrs. Crooks, I hope ere this your homesickness has vanished. We all get it and must put both feet down on it. Mr. Maxwell is much better but still in bed. Mr. Morton getting more and more inclined for the "old country" and Mr. Honig still lectures on financial situation. I feel a little better too. So all is joy unalloyed. Yes, it's fumed [?]. A. Douglas. Mr. H & Martin gave Norman pair of boots and sled for birthday. He's happy.
