Across the Spectrum:The Interdisciplinary Life and Letters of John G. Neihardt (‘Flaming Rainbow’)

I'm at the office. Want to tell you about John Chaffee. He was not my companion on the trip down the Missouri in 1908. He came 10 years earlier. John had a stroke after his wife died last August, and his sister, Edna, writes his letters: Edna has an invalid husband, and I'm sure the situation is a bit saddening. John is looking forward to seeing you & Dr. Aly.

My boy companion on the trip down in 1908 was Chet Marshal, dead long ago.

I hope you can cheer John up. His wife's death seems to have broken him.

Did I tell you I'm going to Cornell again in May?
