only within the last two months that we have been generally and without sectional meaning known as Yanks. That name has taken and seems destined to be universal and permanent. We even have the Franco-Yanko alliance - and there's a term out of which you could write a clever song. Whatever the name in the past, you evidently had a reg'lar show - I can see that very plainly. Daphne, you have put into a letter the most thrilling caress I've ever seen expressed in words. As I read it my heart leaped as if you had indeed put your arms around me to hold me close and press your lips to mine "for a million years." Oh, that wonderful, wonderful kiss from your loving, throbbing, enthralling lips! I'm waiting for another, lover, and to give one back in kind. Conger. Conger Reynolds 2nd Lt.
