Dear dim:

Thenks for your lovely letter of the 17th instants
Meese Allen and I enjoyed it so very, very muche

Your Aunt Anna Church's letter wes like a picture from an
old degerrotype (7). She writer most interestingly and cherminglye
I love to read letters from philosophers of the old school. ‘het
truthful things they say end how they plece their words in enduring
phrases, and too, I know how very much you enjoyed thet letter because
she brought you beck to the days of your childhood; the happiest deys
of our livese Also the fact that you made e success of life causes a
fellow to be happily retrospective. But gosh, isn't it a battle, Jim$

The struggle thet 2 fellew goes through for this so-called
success seems to se at times almost a paradox, I believe that is the
reason we pick up hobbies an? follow them through eas you heve Pobert Ee
- Lee and eae lot of your old immortals. They did things for yous Their
struggles and their triumphs were but symptomatic of the smaller
struggles thet you endure. Their victories were yours, etce

Sometime we will cet tozether and really spin a lot of yarnse
I want you to know thet Bess end I very much enjoyed your and Jessie's
_ wisit with us, elthough I will edmit it was far too short. “hy don't
you make it for all the besketbel! games? Fe will extend the invitetion
-4f you will respond. :

I an sending you ea schedule and you can pick out the dates —
thet sre convenient for you, end both you and the ree cen run down for
an hour's excitement and some sore good visitinge vt

With all good wishes, I em,

Sincerely yours,
