never known what finally happened to set you so hard against him. Of course, I've guessed. And the obvious guess is, or was, something of a shock and a surprise to me. He didn't overstep the bonds of decency when I knew him best, although it did seem to me that his gay life on the broad highways was making him in a little lax in his notions along in the later times I saw him. The army ought to be good for him. He used to have some very likable characteristics in spite of his being a Swede. Do you know anything about where he is? I have not heard from him since I came across. Certain things have happened that cause me to care little whether I hear or not but I should not mind knowing whether he went on with his plans to go into the air service and whether he made good in it, if he went in. I am expecting the snapshots, and I shall be downright peeved if I don't get all of them. I guess I'd have seen all the scenes if I had been at the picnic - I guess I would. And you would not have been embarrassed either, you know very well. Or at least not much. Never mind, chile, you'll get over that before we've been married thirty years. We may get fussed and cut our fingers (ha, ho!) at first, but we'll get natural and be real pals eventually. Yes, wouldn't it be great if you'd walk into my office as a Salvation Army lady?
