Dear Margaret,
To day I was up the river as far as Peekskill to attend the funeral of our good
friend Charles M. Bull. He had been in active charge of his milk business
there the very day before his death. On the 12th he said to Dorothy that
he was not feeling well and was gone in 5 minutes. He was a kindly, congenial, wholesome man - to whom I had become much attached. The
services were in that beautiful Presbyterian Church built in 1846
after the New England type. Your Uncle Harry and his wife
were there; also Alfred Booth, Charley, Phoebe Slaughter and Lillian; Harry C.
Bull, Albert C. Bull, Whitefield Bull and I count a large representation of the immediate family - Brentano's bill shows the news
has having been sent to "Mr. and Mrs. C. W. HARTON, & family, Sidney, N.Y."
Did it ever reach you? I hope charley was able to penetrate the dis-
guise of the address. In searching for a picture of the
Rev. Malcolm N. McLaren, as one of the C. Hall Church ministers (in the
40's), I got in touch with a granddaughter of his, Susan MacLaren
Eager Colwell of 205 Genesee St., Auburn, N.Y. - she is a g'daughter
of Eager the historian. She said that there was a miniature of g'
father MacLaren in one of the Bull families of the N'burgh Church and
wondered if it were possible for her to have it - I told her I did
not know, but would inquire - I wonder if cousin Lizzie knows of it?
well. I did not mean to write on a second sheet, I will bring this to a close,
but not before saying that we hope you are all well and happy - Eleanor and
I are O.K. - she is out at the moment and I am nearly always on the go myself,
but have a quiet evening at home tonight and am taking the opportunity to get some correspondence done. We are so sorry to know of the hard time Cousin Helen has been having and sincerely hope that the vertebra trouble
is proving tractable. Saw Theodore maybe today. He is in bad shape - psychologically and will soon be physically, I fear. He will not allow
anything to be done for him -Jeannie and I are going to
take things in our own hands, but may get no where -
With warmest greetings to each and every one of you,
I remain as ever affectionately yours,
Robert.
