If you knew how happy your dad is when he gets a letter from you, you'd write twice a week instead of just once every two or three weeks. The Senate may meet on that day. I want to see that play most awful bad. I'm sure you'll do your part creditably. It takes work to do anything well.
Most people expect everything and do nothing to get it.
That is why some people are leaders in society, in politics, in religion, on the stage and elsewhere and some just stand and cry that they haven't been treated fairly. It's been my policy to do every job assigned to me just a little better than anyone else has done it. Lots of Love to you, dad.
