...read Mary Burchard Pryor's letter to you and before that I read the nun's canceling her subscription because of the doggerel you copied [TIME, Oct. 29; Nov. 5]. I liked Miss Pryor's letter; I did not like the nun's. The good Sister was too hasty.

At the station he is met by his secretary, begins immediately to dictate letter after letter and continues dictating across the Hudson. Luncheon is to him no gastronomic interlude ; it is incidental to concurrent conferences. His secretaries have been young college men, whom he keeps until they want to go elsewhere, but meanwhile he takes them upon his many travels. He keeps personal letters...
