him WAS ia vacation time. Said h"
was too busy, ANA he hated to write Il
letter in longhand anyway. What he
did write WAS quite fervid enough. but
there WIS SO little Of it used to cry

year he sent ne an April fool letter III

know in papa's office, and she said ii
was some notes in a VII case.

deal more than had been in the habit
| Of doing. Mamma and Carrie won
dered what l was doing, but they
didn't find out. In just two months
wrote George letter in the CORE
spondence style of shorthand. HI
sent one back by next post that was
even more in outline than was neces
sary, even for q beginner. This rint

witnesses, and when l get letter

much continuity about it. to be sure
but who cares about continuity in
love letter?

poking around reading Georges letters
no matter where l hid them. In fact
she inScnuously remarked once tina
