LAST LETTER WRITTEN
Dearest william: OF course I was
disappointed this morning; you know
why. / have been thinking about you
the last few days for obvious reasons.
I was frozen with apprehension when
I read of the Broad street tragedy.
Were you not awed for q moment, too?
A wee sma' voice told me not to worry,
| that nothing like that would ever hap
| pen to you. I never knew the town TO
! be so dead politically al this season.
| Not a campaign picture in sight. Are
4 they passe? You must not mind be-
! cause I make q fuss over you. You
are a most ELUSIVE mortal yourself.
We'll, dear, l may soon see you
/ again, only at distance this time, so
! If you recognize mezzo soprano in the
! chorus shouting for Sulzer you'n know
1 it is your childhood's friend.
