Your letter did n’t come in time (I am pleased to say). If you wish your instructions to be obeyed, you must have your secretary transmit them in less than two weeks. As you observe, I am here, and have been for five days.
The woods are fine, and so is the camp, and so is the weather, and so are the McBrides, and so is the whole world. I ’m very happy!
There ’s Jimmie calling for me to come canoeing. Good-by—sorry to have disobeyed, but why are you so persistent about not wanting me to play a little? When I ’ve worked all summer I deserve two weeks. You are awfully dog-in-the-mangerish.
However—I love you still, Daddy, in spite of all your faults.
Judy.
October 3rd.
Dear Daddy-Long-Legs,
Back at college and a Senior—also editor of the Monthly. It does n’t seem possible, does it, that so sophisticated a person, just four years ago, was an inmate of the John Grier Home? We do arrive fast in America!
What do you think of this? A note from Master Jervie directed to Lock Willow and forwarded here. He ’s sorry but he finds that he can’t get up there this autumn; he has accepted an invitation to go yachting with some friends. Hopes I ’ve had a nice summer and am enjoying the country.
