What are your plans for escaping the Grip? If you ascend up to Heaven it is there, and if you091936make your bed in Hell it is there, and Hell is anywhere you happen to be when you have that miserable disease, but up here, they claim, it never ventures more than most briefly. I offer the suggestion. I am too wise to guarantee anything except gladness at our house to have you with us.Mrs. C. sends her love to you, and the boy hopes some day to know you, I don't count for much, but I hope and pray that this may be one of your best wintersSincerely yours,J.E.
