more 10 say. Paula told Inc that she
was leaving for California early next
week and she told me to tell you she
wished you every happiness. Cad,

all, isn't she: | don't believe / would
have sent such message to man
who had wronged me. Would you!
asked her if she had enough
money TO 40, and she answered proud
ly that she had borrowed it from some
of her friends in New York. She
would not allow me to lend her any.
tell you l came away from that
hotel feeling that she was pretty
descent sort of girl after all. All
my sympathies were with her, and l
hope she will have the greatest snc-
cess on the screen.
There! I've sent You her message,
and I'm not going TO write any more.
/ don't care for you just at this mo-
ment over-much, Jack, and l hate my
self, for this quotation keeps running
through my head: But for the grace
of God, Sydney Carton, that man
might have been you.
Good night, old chap.
