how much I want you here to help me explore. You sho done me a mean trick, woman, when yah done lef'' me cold the way you did. If you had stayed I should have fed you chop suey and music and various other things your soul and appetite crave in barren Missouri. We might even have worked out eventually an opportunity for you to try out those theories you have about ---- Oh, yes, the weather is getting very cold here. We had snow a'plenty last Monday, and goose-flesh all week. I know now that the talk about Indian summer is a myth. I fully expect to go skating and to try snowshoes before I leave here. I got an earful of the Tulsa Blues one evening some days ago. There were a lot of clever verses, but curiously enough the only one I can recall at this moment was a rather vulgar one running "If the ocean were whiskey From the river Green How I'd like to be - e A su-hub-uh-ma-rine."
