gered for something you did not
give-I know now it was because

oh. Dick, you said very truly
when you dedicated this manuscript
when to come back and be forgiven
that the lives of most of us would
be easier. I do not, however, be-
lieve that had we lived together a
half a century you would have told
me what you have just written to
me to be read after you were NO
more. The only real tragedy, in
life. dear Dick, is the solitude In
which We most all live and die.
We say-you and l have said
often-"You are a part of me" and
yet we both must have known had
we stopped to reason it out that
what we said was not true.
I heard a man say the other even
ing that although he had lived with
his wife many years yet he knew
nothing about her real soul.
thought he was trying that old
game of .bluff-trying to flatter his
wife into believeing that she was too
complex for any mere man to un-
derstand.
Is 1t because we do not believe
when one we love tries to be frank
with US. or is 1t that we are never
true ourselves because we are afraid
of truth, that we fall back on the
old excuse of complexity?
'Tt has always seemed to me-
said Donna the other day when we
were talking about something Of
this sort, that men do not really
want women to love them. For
them the passionate and poignant
sweetness Of love as women con-
ceive 1t Is always cloying.
what they want is only the GER
