Kaiser came down last Sunday, and we took several hikes. He came down to relieve himself of the strain he has been under for several weeks (his wife had undergone a Caesarian birth—with a good recovery) but, if he came to relieve himself he also stimulated me so that it was a mutual give and take. Monday we went to Washingtonville, where I showed him Pansy Allen’s stores (I had shown him at home the water-color made from them “Noon-day Heat”)
