Adventures and Letters

CHAPTER XIX
19/154

The band plays every night and when it plays "Hello, Winter Time," I CRY for you.

I paid the band-master $20 to play it, and it is WORTH IT.

I sit on the balcony and think of you and know just what you are doing, for there is only an hour and a half difference.

That is, when with you it is ten o'clock with me it is eight-thirty.

So when you and Louise are at dinner you can know I am just coming in from my horseback ride to bathe and "nap." And when at eight-thirty you are playing the Victor, I am drinking a cocktail to you, and shooing away the Colonels and Admirals who interfere with my ceremony of drinking to my dear wife.
VERA CRUZ, May 20th, 1914.
DEAREST WIFE: I got SUCH a bully letter yesterday from you, written long ago from the Webster.
