on my vacation to q small seaport
not far from Boston for an indef-
mite time. When ] proposed to
return ! wrote the young man ac-
cording to his wishes and mention
ed an evening that would be suit
able for him to call. He failed to
appear on the appointed evening
and I did not see or hear from him
for three weeks until I met him
at a dance. He would have spoken
and been friendly. but constantly
snubbed him when he approached
me for q dance.
did not see him after that as
he Joined the Aviation Cnrps but
while he was at a training camp he
wrote me q postal card but with
no return address, and when he
wrote to my friends he always in
quired about me. Since that time
I have found out that all mail from
this seaport when mailed at the
depot is taken to Boston and sent
out from the Boston postoffice with
the Boston postmark. l mailed my
