MOT a love letter is this, in the ~ sense of burning and passionate phrases. But the letter of a man whose heart is filled with love at all times, who needs no sudden emotion to klndle a new spurt of flame for the woman who fills his life. and the home circle she has created for him.
 This letter was written by General Lee, commander in chief Of the Con- federate armies, to his wife, who was Mary Park Cusds, great-granddaugh- ter Of Martha Washington.
 ". You do not know how much I have missed you and the dear chil- dren. my dear Mary. To be alone In crowd is very solitary. In the woods feel sympathy for the trees and the birds in whose company I take delight, but experience no pleasure in a strange crowd.

If could only get a squeeze at that little fellow turning up his sweet mouth to Reese baba'i You must not let him run wild In my ab- sence and you will have to exercise firm authority over all of them. This will not require severity or even strict ness, but constant attention and an unwavering course.
