| Summary: | 2[letterhead]I saw Keith at noon today & he showed me a lovely picture that he painted for me instead of that Irwin one. He made an entirely new picture instead of patching the old one. Im pegging away & getting ahead slowly. On my 22d page ought to have 40 ere this. Miss my babes.

And when O when is that fatal interview to end. how many more idiotic articles are to grow out of it. "Muirs Strange Story" "Elephants bones are sticking in the Yukon river says geologist John Muir" "Behring Straits [may?] be bridged because Behring Sea is shallow" Oh Oh if the Examiner would only examine its logic!!! Anyhow I shall take fine cautious care that the critter will not Examine me again01343 |
