I have just received a very affectionate letter from * * * and now
know that I did her an injustice in what I carelessly wrote to you
about her incivility to me after I had left her. It is plain that she
did not mean to be uncivil in what she wrote me on a postal card which
I did not look at until I was in the train; she just "didn't know any
better." So I have restored her to favor, and hope that you will
consider my unkind remarks about her as unwritten. Guess I'm addicted
to going off at half-cock anyhow.
Affectionately,
AMBROSE.

February 3, 1911.]
