Provincetown, Mass.

Friday eve.

Own Sweetheart:

I am writing this on the machine because I seem to have caught more cold last night and have acquired the damndest stiff neck ever. At that, it is just as well it is my neck because I can do something for that, even though you are absent, while if it were --- but I will whisper the rest when I see you. Loneliness makes me Rabelaisian.

Well, you did beat me to it with your letter, you sweet old thing, you. And beyond the joy your note brought me for itself, it was fine to get the Nathan and Broun articles. George certainly takes up the cudgels, doesn't he? And what he says is right as rain. He has sure been the best friend I have had where my work was publicly concerned. I owe him a lot. But his article is due to make the critics sorer at him than ever - and they will try to hit back at him thro me, being too wise to have it out with him directly. Well, what ho! To hell with them.

Broun has very graciously changed his tune, what? But his reasons for it remain as mistaken as the former contrary. But I feel almost conscience-stricken at the Boy on the B.D. slam in my article. I judge, however, that that bit of writing will never see the light.

Several clippings arrived today - one very interesting from Rob Parker's in the Independent. Get it if you can. I also saw the one of Hackett's in the New Republic - quite favorable but with that superciliously superior air of condescension that makes me loathe the little group of serious thinkers on that weekly. It will get your goat, I know.

I have made a revolutionary decision. Walking this p. m. my legs were frozen. So will you get me at Lord and Taylors six pairs of long drawers, three medium and three heavy? I will need heavy ones for going out in dory - am firmly set on renting one now - think lack of exercise is my principal trouble and walking gets boring.

Worked hard today on fourth scene - hope to finish it tomorrow. All love to you, Own Dear Little Wife! I am lonely. I need you.

Gene,
