story OF her indiscretion with John G.
Kintner was repeated by several wit

the ground when verses presumably
composed by her were read by Frank

identified her writing. One OF the
stanzas ran:
All, be sure. I'm thinking OF you,
Though your name / never speak,
And my heart is yearning toward you
With love thoughts true and deep.
Heaven grant my distant darling,
Be the skies above thee clear.
From a single shade OF clouding,
And may God protect YOU, dear
Another verse declares II can never
love thee less" though the writer contin-
ues by addressing the object OF her effu-
sions in the more conventional form
"you."
