I suppose Palmer and Bass saw it; and I try to be glad I did what was right by Collier's instead of for myself.

But I don't want to love another paper.

I suppose there will be other fights but that one was the first, and it must have been wonderful.

On the 4th we expect to be on our way to Kioto with Lloyd and his wife and John Fox.

By that time we expect to be settled in the new house.
