him back to bed.
I read something of Gibbons the other day, written before his accident.  He told something of the black men in out army - I suppose you read it.  I can't see why people rave about that man.  He doesn't begin to tell things the way you do.  His style is not - well, robust enough, if you know what I mean, and in every thing of his I've read, it seems to me he writes all around the thing without ever arriving.  Is it because he isn't permitted to tell what I am looking for?  Surely it is a useless expense to have people over there to write such silly things as some I've read.  All this from somebody who doesn't know straight up about the subject.  You'll probably laugh at my ideas.
I'm going to put your wife to bed, if you don't mind.  She is sleepy and unable to write anything worth reading.  I wish my hubby's shoulder was here, but it will be some time, and perhaps it won't be very much longer.  I'm hoping and praying. 
All my love 
Daphne
