Dear Master,—
Yes, the
announcement of the
Inn was offered as
bait. But I see it
in poor fishing where
you are concerned at
present! However, the
Curtis family does not
live at the Inn, but
in it's own cottage where
I have lived ever since
I can remember (and
before! – having first
come here at the ripe
age of 6 months!)
But during the
winter the Inn was
put-up nect door to
us. When it gets
too hot for human
endurance in N.Y.
you might like to
try a cool seabreeze.
– Meanwhile,
if I would not interrupt you, I will stop
in & see you for a
moment some day
in N.Y. where I have
to go for some reading
of the Public Library
– I meant to go
last week, but did not
get away, having so
much to do here first.
I hope that you
and your dear wife
are well & have
not felt the heat
too much. I wish
that our 90.000.000
were more what you
desire in the way of
sympathy & interest -
I am glad, nonetheless,
to think that you
are safe, your family
intact, no partings,
no separations, no
tragedies such as
fall to the lot of
so many innocent
& non-belligerent
mortals in these
terrible days. I met
an obscure Canadian
physician not long
ago, who had never
been abroad, & had
no European affiliations
of any Kind. He had
lost both sons in
that stand that the
Canadian troops made
near Ypres, & his
wife + daughter, who
went to bring back
the bodies of the
boys, were drowned
on the Lusitania! –
Yes, I am thankful,
dear Master, that you
& your wife & children
are all safe, even
though in an alien
land!
I am most
keenly interested in
what you tell me
of the new world, &
wish that i could
hear it.
The song, by
the way, (beaden-hoofed)
is a Buffalo-dance
Song. I wish that I
could do something
real to help make
the summer more
endurable to you &
yours. Sending a few
songs is very little –
if there ever is anything
more definite, please
count on my friendship.
