AS unto the bow the cord is
So unto man is woman.
Tho she bends him, she obeys him,
Tho she leads him yet she follows
Useless each without the other

Chicago, May 10, 1921. My dearest
friend: 1t is a great comfort to know
that someone stands back of you when
you have been rather at the mercy Of
others and I could not refrain from a
gO0d cry. We are not young, save In
heart, and life is not all before us. and
uncertain and oh, what a relief 1t Will
be for me to go some place where can
take off my hat and feel that can stay
and that i am wanted and needed and
have my right place once more with one
1 love and who loyes me, and nothing
else matters. am sorry cannot pc
hear your address. I believe / am GO
ing to be very happy with you and /
viii do my best to make you so. So Will
close with fOndest love and embraces
Don't worry about the house. Wen
fix it at our leisure and to suit our
selves. 1 will rather enjoy moving
nest once more for you and l and how
happy and cOntented know we will be
you and no one can part us, can they?
And sOmeway ii seems perfectly natural
that we should be together and not
strangers. and pretty soon We will be
wondering why we stayed apart.
MY dearest one and sweetheart:
and am enjoying very much
the sweet romance that has come TO me
in my later years and know that
am better prepared to enjoy TO the full
all that it promises than in earlier
years. Experience and observation
teach us much and know my own heart
and that my being drawn towards You
was something divine and outside of
myself Couldn't We manage to take
a later train than she does? We don't
need a chaperone- Lovingly, your own"
