LETTER OF JULY 16, 1915

... Father asks if it will be all right to publish my report in

the newspapers. I don't care much for newspaper publicity, and I

do not think that my report is written in a style suitable for

newspapers. The people want such a thing written with more poetry

and color--gruesome, nerve-wrecking suspense, complete revenge,

mountainous clouds, blue, breeze-swept sky--that is what they want.

But if the publication of the report will bring you any joy, I will

not be against it.
