He stayed for dinner, which thoroughly satisfied him of the truth of a boast I had written to him concerning the excellence of our mess. After dinner he entertained us by recalling a lot of verses and reciting them in a very fascinating way he has. It certainly was delightful to have him here. Dya know I sent you a cablegram today?

You evidently were a hard worked girl during those days when you were preparing your performance of "The Sammy Backers." Stew bad I wasn't there to do that typewriting for you. You know I like to use a typewriter. I wonder if you are ever going to let me see a copy of the manuscript of your show. Aw, please do, kid? Honey, I hope by the time you get this letter you will have visited the Dorrs. If you haven't, please do everything you can to
