must be something in the hackneyed old tag "where
there's a will, there's a way". And I told you in my L.C.
the Samuels are my big hope - & there may come the need
for you to come out in the some special role. Perhaps as a

reached a higher degree of perfection than any other
woman in this world. It is amazing that you
