dearest PAP Letter.
my Dearest Pal: Your letter was
quite q shock to me, because I have
not the remotest idea OF what Flynn 1
had in mind when he looked you UP. !
1t must be only for friendships sake, |
because he Is not a man who would |
cause unpleasantness. So in other |
respects than that am not able to
enlighten you.
Had a hurry-up letter from my
brother and to quote a part OF St:
Have had long talk with Flynn
and within couple of weeks he is /
going to write you a letter advising
you to be in New York.

been driven as far as any one could |
be driven He said that within a |
week after you received the letter,
IL you did not see fit to come home

while you have had little better luck,
have fallen short Of your mark.
, II would suggest. therefore, that
YOU let no thought of me interfere

But before disilIusionment came to
pretty Mrs. Flynn she wrote many
more fervent love letters to ponner,
whom she called Dearest Pal O. Mine"

letter that makes my heart jump
