"I'm
happy to hear that your father is engaged.
A man in his position is quite handicapped without a wife. Perhaps she can slow him down sufficiently to
prevent recurrence of those periods of nervousness. You describe her as a very
nice lady, and I'll be anxious to meet her....
"You
asked my opinion on a girl who would like to kiss me this minute. She's something of a dream since we are 2000
miles apart, but I love such a dreamer and I'm one myself. I'd like to kiss you my honey. X.
"All
my love,
DeVere."
--Letter from my father, off Rhode Island, to my
mother, Estes Park, Colo., Wednesday, August 6, 1947.
