Dear George:

Fox hunting arguments ("the unspeakable in pursuit of the inedible?") always remind me of my mother, Alice Morrison Jones, who died in 1973. Both amused and troubled by the "Blessing of the Hounds" conducted with much solemnity by an Episcopal minister, she urged a parallel ceremony to bless the fox.

Love,
