Not for a year and half after that
did I learn he was married That was
through a letter he wrote me- be wrote
me lots, but more often spoke his senu-
meut over the telephone.
He wrote referring to his home
When I asked him to explain he said he
was married, but was not living with
hts wife
After staying with the Commercial
Advertiser a while, I went with mag

also as a manuscript reader During
the years that followed we met contin-
ually. Finally a divorce was in sight.
DR.. Pecks first wife having entered
