My loving little spouse }

and darling little chick-a-biddy}

                          "I own I really

am ashamed" as Byron has it. But it takes a

woman to make one feel like it, You have uttered

the first word of love for 5 mos. God Bless your

little heart - by the Divine Mary Jane Jack

where did you obtain your medical education

at what institution did you graduate? you

are a perfect little trump. Celia without doubt

you are the only wife I could ever have, I think

more of your dashing, rollicking, Fanny

Fern style, than all the sentiment you are

possessed of. Your numerous signatures for

example, why you are a "titled lady"!!

   I am very busy write soon I will

be yours Eternally write soon

                Au Revoir!!

                        "Dick"

P.S.

   Great rush of biz to the brain this p.m.,

                true!!
