Friday night 11-30
Dearest One -
Much as I love your delicious love-letters, that would make any woman proud and happy, I believe I enjoy even more the ones in which you tell me (as you did this morning) of what you are working on — the things that fill your thoughts and demand your best effort, for then I feel I am sharing your work - and being taken in to partnership as it were—
I know there are many things you don't care to put on paper, for fear it might fall into other hands — and therefore it is difficult to share your work - but I feel so close when I know what you are doing - and all day I have been made happy by your confidence - Please don't forget to tell me about the Democratic Committee matter “when we are together -”
We missed you so this afternoon, and even Tea as strong as Samson, would have beeseemed good if made by certain, strong - capable hands - but I suppose it was wise the way it happened — but, oh dear!
Helen whispered to me you had gone to call on that awful Deserter.
If anything could make me hate him worse than I did before - this would accomplish it - and I will be glad when he expires from an over dose of peace or grape juice - and I never hear of him again -
You will think me in a horrible humor if I dont stop -So good night - and happy dreams my Lord - and thank you again for your books - I am so happy to own them.
Always yours,
Edith
