Letter to Edward W. Clark

Dear Edward:-

Lou and I have wished many times that you were down here with us, and I am sure you would have had the finest kind of a time. The course would have suited you exactly, as many of the holes are about 400 yards long and you would have driven on to the greens of most of them of course. You might possibly have had to occasionally use your machie.

There have been three tournaments on since we have been here,-mostly handicap,-and while your aged uncle lit in the first sixteen, he also lit out very promptly. Next comes a mixed foursome.

This is the place par excellence for woman's golf, as they have at all times exactly the same rights with the men, and with the exception of the finalists in the tournaments, no one asks to go through them, so you see this is rather an unusual state of things.

I find great difficulty with the sand greens. Up to the greens I think I am playing better than ever before, but I promptly fall down when I get there. That magnificent implement of mine has as yet neither been ruled in or out of the game, so that I am unable to use it.

T.T. Reid is, I think, the most consistent player here. He is remarkably fine on these greens, and the distances are such that he can just about make the greens in two shots.

I am enclosing you under separate cover an article on the application of minute time study to the running of the repair work on a trolley line. I think this will especially interest you as you have seen so much of the same kind of study applied to other things. So far as I know, however, this is the first application of scientific time study to this particular line. Will you not return the article to me after reading it.

I had a very successful visit in Cincinnati, Urbana and Detroit after leaving you, but was completely done up before I got back. I started out intending to make two addresses, and I wound up by speaking some 11 1/2 hours to audiences during three days and this was pretty near my limit. What was to me the most inter-
