Miss Pearson's mind the fact that her
laundryman was man, and her manner
towards him became somewhat deserved.
That was good for a beginning. He wrote
her a letter-she took II for laundry

He knew she could not read 1t, but It
was an outlet for his feelings.

Fab Chung slept in a tiny box OF a

He began wasting his substance on
