same birds are in Iowa. If they are, I shall simply go wild with delight. I can't understand why a bird song should thrill me so, but I seem to be more affected by the Red bird than any other, Oh when we can hear them together! Now about the list of things for you to get: I'll send it, never fear. And do you send me a list of things you'd like. Omit the cherry pie and cream puff because, that is rather difficult. It makes me simply George W. Furious to think I can't send my own husband things without a written order. Your sweater is mos' nigh done and I can send it, but of course I'll have to enclose the part of your letter asking for it, and that makes me tired. I want your letters myself. You'd better ask for any eats you want, and include a fruit cake. I want to send you a box of cigars if I can ever get it across. That old Deacon down at the post office! I'd like to thump his nose.
