Were it not for our own squabbles we would not know not only that the country was at war but not even that war existed ANYWHERE in the world.

We are here entirely en tourist and it cannot be helped.

The men who tried to go with the Russians are equally unfortunate.

Think of us as wandering around each with a copy of Murray seeing sights.
That is all we really do, All my love.
DICK.
YOKOHAMA--April 2, 1904.
DEAR MOTHER: I just got your letter dated the 28th of February and the days following in which you worried over me in the ice coated trenches of Korea.

I read it in a rickshaw in a warm sun on my way to buy favors for a dinner to Griscom.
