Dear Phelps,
Oh, I'll come; but 1stly, I have said, here and there, about
all I have to say and talked myself out and 2ndly - well,
let it go.
I'll come if you make up a program. I'd like to read - of
reading it is - of the Daily Bread .
I'd have to go in on Saturday the 19 [?] - for
the connections are too uncertain to rely on them on Monday.
I'd stay, frankly, only as long as the C.A.A. pays expenses,
for I got home with $1.05 out of $20 which were borrowed
from Mrs. Grove's household funds. I'll have to borrow the
fare here from the bank or from May who is the richest one
of the family - After New Years of course, I'll be flush,
apparently, because I intend selling a $500 bond on Jan.
1 st .
Thanks for telling me about Lasker. I trust that chap's
judgment.
I'm writing to Marshall whose enquiry reached me with your
letter.
By the way, that bundle of Saturday Nights with
your review must have miscarried. Mrs. Grove did not receive
it. Can you still secure a copy or two? You know, I wanted
to make up a sheet for my U.S.A. agent - I should want your
review for that.
The local paper which I just received ignores the Christmas
review - the first time they've ever done so.
Well, since I wrote you before, this is all.
My cold is getting better.
Mrs. G. is much encouraged. Says she wants to teach another
year. I told her what I told you. I'll consent if $500 are
made in one way or another.
Yours,
F.P.G.
