something about counter-espionage. And I don't want my wife mixed up in it. It's too dangerous - for a woman in more ways than one. If you have anything on anyone else give the information to The chief, G-2-B, War College, Washington, and you can be sure it will be looked after. Let him catch the rest of the spies. Will you? If you don't answer yes, your husband will come back to you with white hair and shattered nerves. You are a keen, clever, brave, daring girl - but for Heaven's sake don't play with fire unless there are some more competent firemen standing by than those represented in the Missouri guardians of the law. I hope you are in part at least as scared as I am. You need to be, and I'm deliberately trying to frighten you because I love you so dearly. Conger.
