Dear Henrietta,
I am no believer in mental telepathy but, like Mark Twain, I am struck with the frequency with which letters cross in the mail. You have doubtlessly observed that this interesting phenomenon happened with our last two letters. For the sake of curiosity would you compute and advise as precisely as possible the time you wrote?
Having a legal mind and therefore addicted to the habit of using much logic on small things, I was wondering upon whom, under the circumstances noted above, incolves the duty of first answering. After much laborious argument I decided to my own satisfaction that said duty was on the same party upon whom was the duty beofre the phenomenon occurred.
After the maddening, nerve-racking, brain-busting exam I had yesterday my mind is not functioning in such a way as to allow me to write in an abstract [illegile word]. And having had an interesting week-end, i will write in a narrative style.
Last Saturday I cammed. All day. And all day I was stimulated with the thought that I might see you that evening. In that I was keenly disappointed. In the evening to Al Smith, Judge Andrews, and Judge Tompkins wise crack at the meeting of the N.Y. Bar Association. And thence to bed.
