G. W. Clarke Adel, Iowa [July ? 2, 1936] Thursday 2nd 1936. My dear Nile: I fully appreciate your being recognized and labeled as "junior," that is, possessing and exemplifying all the fine qualities and ambitions of your most estimable father, yet I still think that at this time in your life when you are just beginning to take a real, deep, thoughtful look at the world and the years of your life just beginning to unfold - at such time I just think you are entitled to a name wholly in your own individual right; and I, therefore, address you as My dear Nile, at the same time begging to assure you that the qualifying word is used in all its fullest and deepest meaning by us - grandpa and grandma - for you are, indeed, very dear to us. We most confidently look forward to a finely developed and outstanding man hood in you as the years go by. We are so much encouraged in this by the fact that such clearly seems, even now, to be your own inspiring ambition. You
