Conger Reynolds correspondence, May 1918

lawn mower after you have finished shaving, tho I still insist you must shave yourself.  I'll not have you running to the barber with your troubles as you did in Washington.
Madam Do-Floppie is not spoiling you to such an extent that you'll not recover immediately after you come home to your family.  Selah!
Noch etwas ---.  Alas, weiter ---. 'Scuse me, but I can't help liking these words.  I was going to say I wobbled thru most of the letter from M. Coulan.  It's not so hard to read. I wish I knew a little of the pronunciation.  Evidently you have told him what a jewel of a woman you married, which was quite right, my dear.  And unless I mistake, he was taking his wife to some country place because of her nerves. My hub is giving me the Dickens because of my nerve.  And M. Coulan can read English.  Surely then he can speak it a little.  It would have been nice
