exactly a physical wreck. He looks
fine to me, & is loaded with character,
the strength of - type. I think he feels
your dissaproval. You will find that
he is very difficult to get to know, after
a certain point. One of his best friends
told me that a long time ago. By your letters

began almost a year ago. I don't think
you know me very well in that respect.
Anyway, don't make any rapid
judgements. I'll get him into a white
shirt & a tie the next time you come
