And that's just what I'll do sometime. I'll not be the useless sort I am forced to be under present circumstances. You are a dear to be so confiding. I hope you will never hesitate to tell me anything, dear. Even if I am a man I'm your hubby and I know how to understand and sympathize and to respect your trust. Let's always be unreserved with each other honey. For my part I intend to show no timidity about telling you things that heretofore I haven't confided to many persons. I'll be a perfectly open-minded comrade, I assure you. I wouldn't, though, if you were not my nice lil' wif. __________________________ Beloved, you're my true soul-mate. You spell Chautauqua without the first two u's. I always want to spell it that way and
