p.

give us early morning concerts.
I can realize in fact how
your mother would enjoy
those songs, early each morning,
they are poetry in themselves.
We hope the Etruria, which is
due on Monday, will bring us
letters from you miles long, which
will take three days to read and
a week to answer.
Hope you are in balmy France,
if possible get away from
Paris out in Normandy to drive
among the French people as they
live in their houses. Please give
as much of my best as you think
you can spare to the Howe girls, they
were so kind to me, but I have
always believed it was for your sake,
for I was a strange in their midst.
More and more each day, it comes
to me what a noble life awaits
us as we are each preparing

to do all that is good in our
power with God's help.
I had the funniest dream
Sunday night. - I thought I
had looked and longed for
a letter from you for more

out and put your arms around
my neck, saying, "Dearest Love, come
to me!" You had taken the voyage over
with great success and had returned on
a ship leaving port the same day you
came in, saying to your father, "Pa, the
voyage is the most restful, let's repeat
it and go right home!" To say I
was surprised is enough to startle
