In writing to you yesterday I forgot to ask you whether it would bee be too much trouble for you to send me my Webster Dictionary3 by freight or express?
Formerly, when I was at the office4
every day I used the dictionaries there, but now that I do most of my work at home5 I need one very badly. you have
another Webster at home besides mine, I think, and would not miss it. It is the
Dictionary Charley Moore6 gave me, you
remember, and I think you rescued it from the fire the time the Moore offices burned7.
