p.

that the record is not broken, and
I have not missed reading our
chapters over since starting. How I
do hope you are enjoying the "Aftermath"
I can picture your face as you come
to each of my markings, they are for
you only, darling - no one else would
understand. What a delight that
picture is to me, though it does not
do you justice - The retouching is bad -
making it not so true as the proof
They have taken out all the lines and
shadow from the right side

Still, Darling, it is a picture
of my love, looking straight at me
and I shall be able to kiss you
goodnight now. You are looking
at me now as tho you would say,
"What's the use of writing, I can read
your thoughts, my love."

Dearest, I had such a glorious
time visiting the Hawkins family at
Mt. Vernon. I went yesterday after
dinner and came home this forenoon
They are almost my ideal of a family
The father and mother are just as brisk
