This is your 'flutter.' I like the way you face it.

If you were a son instead of a daughter, I should see I might have confidence in you.

I could not confide to Wall Street what I will tell you--which is that in the midst of the drive and swirl and tumult of my life here, I like what you see in the thing, I like your idea of the lord of the land, who should love the land and the souls born on it, and be the friend and strength of them and give the best and get it back in fair exchange.

There's a steadiness in the thought of such a life among one's kind which has attractions for a man who has spent years in a maelstrom, snatching at what whirls among the eddies of it.

Your notes and sketches and summing up of probable costs did us both credit--I say 'both' because your business education is the result of our long talks and journeyings together.
