My dear Dr. Davison,
Billy Francis has sent me a copy of your letter to him telling of your visit to Oxford last Summer - It has given me much pleasure - I so well remember when you were starting forth from No 13 Norham Gardens headed for Durham - & Sir Williams great interest about it - I am delighted to hear of the place for the house being converted into apartments - & that the Regis may now be installed there - It has always hurt a little to feel it was
[2]
a Boarding House - even of a superior kind - I wish also to thank you for having the copy of "Thumbnail Sketches" sent to me - I greatly appreciate your "Reminisces" in it - and I also wish to tell how much I enjoyed what you wrote on the occasion of his 100th birthday - At the time I wrote you to say this - but never completed or sent the letter because I felt it was inadequate! Now, may I say that think it was one of the very best - in its appreciation of Sir William & my sister - that appeared at the time? I have watched the growth of Duke University - & I realize how Sir William would rejoiced in your success -
Believe me
very sincerely yours
Susan Chapin
