I am sending a lovely book3 to you and Mary4. It's by the son5 of our old friend William Allen
White6. I read the book with great
pleasure. It gives me more understanding of air technique and what mine-sweepers
really
are than I've been able to get elsewhere. And the
story of Margaret is lovely; sentiment that is not
sentimentality. Shut yoursef yourself up with it and
for a few hours forget the tormented world.
