Dear Comrade:
I 'woke greatly troubled this morning over my hasty letter to you mailed yesterday. Troubled because it seems now almost sure to hurt you, whereas that was infinitely far from what I had in mind. Your brief paragraph about women was merely gracious & not intended to have a deep significance. But it [offers?] that I have been disgusted & saddened by the outrageous woman-flattery now so conspicuous throughout our literature; Together with the pitiful feminization of our own culture, such as it is. I thought of this when I wrote you, and was unjust in doing so. I not only love you, but honor you as an intelligence.
Anyway you have shall have forgiven me before this note reaches you.
Endless love,
Jno.
