(seq. 24)

3.

I no longer care or fear misunder-
standings - you in your 1949 ordeal
had to take it before the world yet,
arose triumphantfully above it - I in my
small sphere am doing exactly the
same and with our faith in our
dear Lord - how can we fail.

Will you please tell Miss Cavanah
that I appreciated the sarcasm and
coldness of her letter - written or
rather received by me the day after
I called you and received the
desired information in regard to
the shipment of my steamer trunk.
However I am still very very fond
of Miss Cavanah and I would like
to have you let her know that know
that when I "struck back" at her in regard
to her private affairs - I did it directly
to her. No other officer or student at
Fram. would hear that from me. There
is just one doubt in my mind. I wrote
to Mrs. Schwab and gave her permission
to have you read the letter. I cannot
remember whether in my anger I said
anything abut Miss C.'s private affairs
but then knowing myself - I know
I didn't as I never [conscienly?] have
maligned another thru personel anger
sprite or what have you.

I know you will be happy to hear
that I talked on the phone last night
