-4 by the Air Men. Boys here who were with him at flying school say he is a [illegible] of the first water. He may be a hero to the public but not to his comrades. x - - x That Easter card was lovely - and I did like the sentiment - only Easter isn't actually happy without you; it's passable but nothing more. x - - x I certainly hope that The Fossil, who-ever he may be, isn't allowed to edit Spencer's History. Why should he? I can't see that it should need editing? Perhaps reading and suggesting but not editing. If Crane is so magnanimous as to print the History, that ought to give him the presidency anytime he wants it, hadn't it?
