How is wounderful Mary? We are all sending Thoughts to you. We have
had wounderful full days lately, all heat. The town is howling
for rain now; they are never satisfied. We are always ready for
anything. It is the best. Our wounderful old mailtrain just crossed
the magic lane. I love trains more and more. They have a pull to my
heart. We love everything.
I do not feel on erth. I feel in space. Out of the draw of the
erth--_Free_.
Love always in my heart for you. I hold hard for the time that
Comrads pull together again for the road, us two. Jane is at my
hump all the time--so I will quit.
DEAR OLD COMRAD:
We are close this morning. I can feel your warm wounderful hand in
mine this morning. We are one. There is the holy breath--such a
great pull of thoughts and work to California. It seems as if all
the Comrads were calling me there. Then I hafto think of the one
thing--_Patience_. When you have mastered Patience, you are free.
All well here. My sores are getting better fast. I have wanted to
work lots lately, since I was in bed, but I could not. I lost so
many ideas in bed. Beds are a curse. I love you, Comrad. We need to
be together.
YOUR OLD PAL.
SUNLIGHT PAL:
A wounderful sun. A little late in getting up. The sun was out
full--a wounderful breakfast and a wounderful bowl of roses.
Every morning gets greater. The coming together again gets closer.
Separation is a great thing! You find that when it comes. It will
be so big and wounderful to come together on the shores of the sea.
The trains on the Pere Marquette line have a draw to my heart; the
whistle is so wounderful.... To have a bath in the salt water and
not in old Lake Erie.... It was another wounderful night with
Fred. He has done so much for me this time that we have been away
from each other.
He is so wounderful if you can get to him. I think I have got right
to him to the heart. I am awful lonesome for you and the sea.
I walked to the train track with Fred this morning. It was like the
day you were going away. I felt it was nearing the last walk up the
old Lane. Fred has the same feel. It swept over us--a free feel; it
was almost too much.
How is your Sisity-list coming? Mine is great. It is hard to get
along without you here. Old Abe was drafted, and we don't know when
we will see him. The sea and sunlight sweeping in the open door of
your work room! We will sure have some grand times. We will get
horses and have some more of them Moonlight rides. It will be great
to hit the old _Tie path_ Itself--with the[7] Welcome Mulligan
and the[8] Onerbel Chas. Lipton under our arms. The smell of the
burning bark and a caben in the Rockies! Oh, the open road. Life is
Life on the old Road.
