Stoddard mailed the volume of poems "Bugle Notes". The Ave Maria containing Stoddard's "Figs of Thistles" arrived. He doubts he will be understood. His portrait has been photographed by Father George M. Searle, C.S.P., the astronomer. He has come upon a negative of the Lyric in San Francisco. Does Hudson recall how he went out of the Lyric to join the Bohemians and how the Reverend Pinky White came to them. The other day Stoddard met White. He is assistant pastor of a little Episcopal Church founded in 1780. Theodore Dwight is out to see him two or three times a week. :: X-3-k A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
